Cool Smoked lights.

Thanks to Kris Horton I have a shiny new set of Tails, corners, and side markers. I haven't replaced my clear corners yet as I forgot how much of a PITA it was, even though it doesn't take very long. I'll have my wheels off pretty soon anyways so I'll swap them then.

They came out darker than I expected once on the car, but not bad at all

Robert, those look great

Nice subtle touch... with just enough tint to add yet a another dimension to your otherwise sweet looking car. Not that I am biased or anything with Alloy, but got to like that look

I've just had a lot of stuff coming together at once Doug! Just you wait, the best is yet to come. I won't be able to set it up for a few weeks though as I need a full Saturday and I'll be working!

Looks great Robert. It really brings out the wheels now for some reason. It's coming together very nicely.

Looks clean! Glad I saw them first because I'm not entirely sure if they are for us after all.

Need to put the wing back on

Don't ask about the wing, it will be back on sometime next week It's a little darker than expected but it grows on me every time I look at it.

As good as they look, I am against this modification on my vehicle. I was behind a TBSS with tinted tails while on my motorcycle and noticed how poorly the light gets through.

Looks nice though.

These weren't tinted, they were painted. The visibility is the same now as they were before, or they wouldn't be on my car. I couldn't agree more with you, I can't stand not seeing someones tail lights/brake lights. As added security, I ordered some LED sequentials

Where'd you get the LED sequentials from Robert?

I'd like to paint my taillights but would like a brighter bulb. Just like I did with my front headlights.

Pricey, but it's 100 more than a typical sequential and you get LED clusters. CO_vapor_gt (I think) turned me on to these when I first started looking into this mod. I'm not trying to be dangerous, so I'll add where I take and keep things balanced!

Thanks bro! That'll definitely come in handy.

Your car is beautiful with or without the spoiler. Tailights look perfect. Love the stance and the louvers. Very clean alloy.

Looks great! I've been considering this mod for a while. Slightly darker adds a nice touch. Blacked out is overdone IMO.

That's very tempting then. Nice job....love the "form and function" mods.
