Default Tungsten Pearl: TO smoke or not to smoke--My tailights..???

i have seen some, i think it looks okay. everyone else thinks it would look really good. what do you guys think? im pushin a tungsten pearl/sterling. i am getting 15%tint next week and would get it done at the same time by the same place if you guys think its a good idea. i would have them cut the reverse light...

I'm not feeling the completely black look but something like this would look great:

jeese...that remark has absolutely no truth to it at all, if you are associating smoked taillights with honda civics, that's ridiculous. i was merely asking if a silver car would accomodate smoked tail lights well. i am not asking if i should get some sweet new altezza's. smoked out taillights are more popular among high end luxury vehicles...not honda civics my friend.

thats odd, the cars I see with smoked tails on a daily basis are high end cars not civics.

I would keep it stock. I think it would look good on a dark colored car like black or gray, but not on the lighter colors.
