Need Some Opinions On Which Tails To Use...

So I have a set of tinted tails on my car now that I've really like on my car, but I also recently purchased a set of custom tails from Dope!

I cant decide if I should:

stay with the tinted tails

install the dope custom tails as they are

slightly tint the custom tails and have the best of both


tinted tails



dope custom tails

I just got the tinted tails the way that I want them, but I also like the fact that nobody else will be driving around with the custom tails

If it were me, I would put on the custom tails but tint the red blinker part. And does anyone notice how the picture kind of looks like the old CTS or deville?

I love the smoked ones, I have a set as well, but I would go with those custom ones. Stand out from the crowd even more

See I agree completely. For some reason on NBP it washes the back of the car out if you know what I mean. Some contrast is needed to break it up...if that makes any sense.

Thought I saw (a puddytat ) somewhere on here about tails from China withe directional signal part in Amber which is what I'd rather have as Amber signals are more visible.

I would open up the custom tails and clear out the red reflector using the 04-06 tails clear diffusers. it would look amazing on your NBP like elegantTypeS 's TL

Na Im not opening them back up... Especially to make them look just like somebody else's tails. Thats kinda the point of them being custom you know... not really interested in being just like everyone else which is why Im leaning towards the tinted customs since I see so many NBP with 04-06 tinted tails.
