I like what you did, but if you rear lights are not DOT approved is it worth it getting pulled over all the time for dark tail lights and risk the chance of getting blamed for an accident?

Good luck with that one. You painted over the reflectors, therefore you've lost all reflective characteristics, and you have lost your case and are out legal fees you paid for a useless argument.
I think the tail lights don't look right on the Kona, the carbon fiber panel looks like crap! Seriously, it's horrible. Was that a sponsorship part too, I noticed the TruFiber windshield banner, but stock hood.
Please don't tell me you are rocking that banner because of the hideous deck lid panel...
You asked for opinions...but hey, I bet the tinted windows look great! Wanna post some side profile pics?

I think it looks awesome! 
I love the tinted tail and blackout panel look. I did the same thing on mine. I , like many that have posted here, was skeptical about light transmission but liked the look so much in my head I was willing to chance it. I can say there is no loss even in bright sunlight. I let my girlfriend drive home while I followed and could see them plain as day on a sunny afternoon. I was going to take the tint right back off if you visibility was affected. I went with tint in case I get orders to a state where it is illegal so I could easily change back.
