i have them on mrm and i like it, but to each his own... so if you like it do it, remember its your car.

i had them painted. when i use quick detail on them, they look super clean!

IMO, blacked-out tail lights look better on a black car rather than light cars.

since you have tinted the rear reflectors, so I think they would match better if tails are tinted too. But I would not tint any of them

I think the tint does make your car stand out from others with no tint but I would consider the possibility of getting pulled over. Also, some people tint it so much that it's hard to see the brake lights and I ended up driving behind one of these people...

ok. people are saying people tint them on crappy cars but our cars are not crappy. and i dont think it makes them crappy by tinting them. it all depends on how much u tint them too. make sure it fits into ur car's style.

I would say no but it really depends on the car. If your car is stock height with stock wheels, don't do it!
