Note that they did NOT do my tinting on my car, that was done already by the previous owner, not sure where he got it done...

They ONLY did my tail lights/reflectors.

I'm gonna keep the tint that I bought the car with, I think it looks good already.

So wait, it was $100 OFF and you only did your tail lights and reflectors? How much were they charging before they took that off? Aren't Aerotect smoke overlays like $70

I heard blacking out the tails of any sort in WA is illegal. Anyone else confirm?

nice, but would look 10x better if the amber was dark red. hence, double overlay.

He charges $200 for 2 pieces, since the IS350 has 4 pieces, he did it for $300, and did the reflectors for free... they are actually sprayed...

The reflectors on the bottom are overlays.

I was kind of iffy about the price when I first went in, but I was also iffy about the shops who only charged $100 to spray it, I didn't want a horrible job, plus I seen the work they did and the numerous celebrity photos which in a sense made me trust them... It might not be for most people, but I'm happy with their work =]

That's insane pricing bro! At any rate he should have put an extra 2 coats on the amber...

He actually asked me how dark I wanted them to be, he showed me his darkest, and I told him that I wanted it to be lighter, I wanted the smokey look, not too dark, I didn't want the cops to give me a hard time because of them.

Like I said, its not for most people, but I like the look thats what matters, and the chances of me getting a ticket for it, is low, so I'm happy =]

I just told my co worker what you paid and his first response was the quote above....

Dude it looks nice, but for 200 bones... I get my car tinted, eyebrow, and my redouts installed for that price...
