Tinted tails anyone?

Anyone here have tinted tails? They usually offer in 2 shades, dark and light... most usually go for the dark but wondering if any of you guys have done light tint.

Either way, can you post pictures if you've done it? And where you got your tint?

Thanks!

they are from lamine-x or you can order them from headlight armor. the're really not that dark. the first pic is because of the lighting they look blacked out. GP20 had he lightest tint avaliable 50% or something. it was really subtle

tit silver...

as for exterior mods, only have some light tints (50f/35r) and a stubby antenna. thinking about getting the oem cf lip, and figured maybe darker tails might go nice with that.

Can you post pics of that oem cf lip, I've never seen it?

Also, I thing more subtle might look good on TiAg, I was thinking of doing the same but not quite sure,... first the windows
