Default Tinted the Turn signals... somethin new

got bored today.. beautiful and sunny out, so i decided to tint the rear turn signals. i used the thicker, tinted headlight protection film to do the job... what do you think? at first i was unsure about them but they've really grown on me. i think its undoubtedly better than amber... any feedback would be sweet

If you like it that's all that counts. Personally it still needs to grow on me.

Damn, I saw you parked by my friends house and thought that might be where you live. Also what percent tint do you have on your windows and what did you use for the tails? Can you get me a link?

Default Tinted tails?

If your gonna do it, tint the entire rear tail! That would look hot against that black paint!

Yeah, I agree. it looks good on the silver cars, but smoked rear tails on a black gs would look like wringo said.

defintely different....as long as you like it, thats what counts most. How about using red film instead,..I think that would match or flow better.

yea, i originally went to the tint shop intown for red tint. they didnt have any in stock, so i decided to go this route... 5 bucks in scrap film and i did this. i didnt want to tint the whole taillights because...

A) i hear it was illegal in Wa.
B) the windows are tinted pretty dark and i need all the un-tinted back up lighting i can get.
so i started thinking...

the whole tailing except the backup light could be sweet.. all dark with a little window of silver..hmm....

Thanks for the input fella's, jsut tryin out new ideas.

Just for looks I would say tint the entire lights. But it does catch your eye and bring attention to the car. So, if you are down with the extra attention, keep em and start a new trend.
