Default Tail Lights, To tint or not??

Just would like to get some of your guys thoughts. I have a SGM 350 and have 20% tint all around and the rear reflectors tinted and am thinking about tinting the tail lights. Do you guys think it would look good??

I think it would look "ok" but I'm not really a fan of tinted tail lights. Run a search and you'll find a lot of pictures of members who have done something similar in the past. It should be helpful in your decision on whether to tint the tail lights or not.

Depends on your taste, I prefer not to.

To me smoking out the taillight is way cleaner than tint, cause it has a nice shine and stock look to it. Like Rashoodz said, whats your preference?!! Keep in mine, it will always be illegal to modify your OEM tail and head lights.

I wouldnt do it. I hate that look. Simply cause it's way to out played here in So-Cal. It was cool when it first came out. But now I get pissed off when I see young kids in any piece of shi.t with absolutely no mods at all, except blacked out tail lights. It makes me laugh and glad that I never did it.

The 90's were awesome, but they are gone.

Exactly, unless frequent interaction with law enforcement is the goal.

Even though I don't like it, but SGM and Black are the most suitable with that mod. I just can't stand light colored cars with tinted tails.
