When you say full limo tint you don't mean front windshield too? If so, yikes!!

I'm not a fan of everything blacked out, but if it is your thing, 'just do it'.

Damn. To have the look is fine. To have it compromise your sight (as well as others unable to see your brake lights) while driving is dangerous and irresponsible.

I hope you remedy this situation before anything unfortunate occurs...

I think "murdered out" is the term for this particular style. OJ would be very proud of you!

do whatever u like...but i really dont like those who tint their tailights......i think tinting your tailight causes anger among other drivers who are behind you. The goal is to attract other drivers to "OoOooO ahhhhHHH" on your car.....not hate you.

Other than that, if black is ur style...GO FOR IT!

damn, your getting bashed on.

I think you might be getting your influence from the IS in the SEMA show..or other show ISs....these cars are usuallyy garaged and not daily drivers...that's why safety isn't a real concern..since the cars are usually only brought to shows....


but...do what floats your boat..I am personally not a fan of Blk rims and Blk badges...the rest BLKED out wud look hot though...

good luck!
