Pics of tinted rear tail lights

Here you go for those who had requested pics of these. This was a custom lamin-x application using the smoked shade. You can see in one of the shots where I used a flash to show that the reflector affect is not lost. There is only a 10-15% reduction in penetrance of light.

Yeah that was me. Thisisdudewhoru had mentioned he had a friend who picked up an AW roadster. I thought it was probably you when I saw you. Nice to have some ZM owners locally.

I guess I'm alone in my opinion.
I just never understood how these improve the look of an car.

Main thing is that you do though.

Agreed. Not a fan of the 'look' these give the car at all. It reminds me other like a thugged out Ford Explorer or something.

I like the brightness of the red taillights, esp on silver grey. Adds some color to the car. Making them smoked takes away all the contrast I think.

But to each their own! I'm not a fan of vinyl roofs and that stuff either.... so maybe it's just me...

I love the contrast the bring to the rear of the car:
