Need your feedback on smoked tail lights.

You guys have been great with your replies about the 350Z I am working on.
Post here

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...hreadid=124770

Most of you are posting don't change a thing with the looks.

I was just sent these tinted precut overlays for the Z (I can get them made for any car) and installed them on headlights and taillights, just to test fitment, and take photos.

The headlights I am removing, but thinking about keeping the tail light overlays on.
What do you think ? Leave them on, or take them off, and go back to stock ?

Much appricated

IMO those tails look real good goes with the flow of the windows and car. But I'd keep the headlights stock.. Looks Nice though...!

The tails look pretty cool blacked out, and I actually think the headlights look good too in the second picture, but I'd probably still leave them off the front.

I like the smoked tails but not the headlights. To be honest you can't go wrong either way stock tails or smoked the car looks hott!

It is very eighties. I kind of like it. That rear bumper looks a little bell-bottomy though.

I think they're way too dark. Maybe a couple of shades lighter would look better.

Smoked looks good with the overall look, if your car wasnt tinted it would look stupid. It goes with the color scheme
