personally, just not a fan of tints that dark, reminds me of a 1995 mustang with GTO overlays. a light smoke would look better IMO...

I personally hate the tail lights and like the side markers before the tint.

As long as you like it though...

not really feeling it, you shoulda just bought some base 04-06 tails to black out and sold these because people want them. or you should have just tinted the inner diffuser that looks really good

As long as you like it OP, have at it

But personally I think it's a tad too dark. Test the lights to see how bright they are, the last thing you want it someone rear ending you and the police deciding your lights were not visible.

Side markers are ok.
Tinted tails are not.

Your base 07/08 tails look fine the way they were, especially on a WDP.

You did an awesome install but I wouldn't have covered the whole tail light with the tint.

Later down the road you should consider properly blacking them out; opening the housing and painting the inner components black. Sorta like mine



If you are up to it, you could always take a sharp exacto knife and cut the tint around the brake lights. That way the red is covered up but the white still shows.

I was debating between the Type-S or the Black and Clear like you have. After seeing the Black and Clears in that pic.on your WDP. My mind is made up. Looks Nice. Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'll be heading to Ebay next couple weeks. I'll post pics.

Better make sure the wife wasn't styling again. She drove my car once and cracked the front lower lip. I learned my lesson and so did she. Hasn't driven it since!
