I just couldn’t wait to black out my taillights. Here are the before and after pics.. ENJOY!




How do you guys think it would look if I installed the chrome taillight trim???

Default looks good!

I alway's liked the look of smoked tails on a black car! They would look even better with a set of 01-05 tails! Nice job.

Please, no chrome trim!

I think it came out great...nice work. But they look great as is, I think the chrome trim might take away from the clean stealth look.

Looks Great. I agree no chrome, it would take away from your car being all black. A chrome trunkbar on the other hand might look good.. Here is the blacked out tail lights and chrome trunk bar on mine.. Except my car is silver.

i ordered the film from www.lamin-x.com, and the lights are perfectly visable at all times of the day, so i would say that it is legal as can be.

Which film did you get? They have smoked, gun smoke, and charcoal.

Does it just stick them over your tails?
