Taillight smoked redout
 
I'm a big fan of the original all red tails so vinyl tinted the tails red and smoked them at the same time to closely match the factory smoked red tails. It took me multiple tries with two different vinyls to get the red right, then light smoked it.

I'm 90% satisfied with how they came out, but it's just my OCD talking. Enjoy!

Looks great!
We just got an Advanced and I want to do the same.
Which tints did you end up using?

I bought the vinyl off eBay. Got a light smoke vinyl and a clear red to go over the light smoke.

Looks really good. I' not a fan of the clear swoosh. This is how they should have come from Acura.
