07-08 Base Tails Smoked

I've been thinking of ordering some depo 07-08 taillights with the intent to smoke the white part ( ballinfizzle and bforfian (sp?)) BUT it seems only people with black cars have done this. So has anyone preferably with AM done this please post a picture.

TL-S lights look a whole lot better on anthracite metallic along with TL-S side-markers! jptl04's old AM looked amazing with them, but the pictures are no longer being hosted...

with anthracite, it really depends on what theme you trying to go for on the car. im doing an AM and black theme so im going with fully blacked out custom tails. il post some pics once i get to install them. but with the type s tails, you really cant go wrong no matter what theme you choose

Those on an AM are eh. I would do all black with the white left alone, all black, 07-08 base lightly tinted with a black bezel or the ones in my avatar.

For those that are curious how much this cost, I paid 90 shipped for 2 OEM 07 tails via Ebay, and i think $8.00 for a can of VHT Nightshades. I sprayed the back about 3 times, let dry about 20 - 30 minutes in between coats and put them on. I also used the same gaskets.

@Twisdit If you want to do this i have tons of the nightshades left over, you can borrow it.
