Smoke makes the car looks cheaper to me, and is bad for your health. I'd say no.

I have to agree with this. That along with slammed cars, the whole hellaflush trend, they're just so tacky.

I'm sort of torn between. I've smoked mine, but I've seen the stock IS F tails with the red and white fully visible, and it looks really clean. I've got a black F, and I like the look of it smoked. But one can make the case either way, especially the clean look on the ISx50.

you bought IS-F tails and then you cover them up, doesn't make sense.

In addition, IS-F tail that are smoked or painted often times never get sold or are very difficult to sell, regardless of how many compliments they get. This tells you the truth that untouch tail are preferred

Not a big fan of smoked tails, but the 1st pic actually looks nice. Either way it would look sick.

No smoke on ISF tails unless you're going for a sort of semi blacked/grayed out theme on your car (but I happen to like the contrast in color from the tails). And yes, uncover the reflectors if you do choose to leave them unsmoked.

Car is looking good by the way!

Smoke out the headlamps too. I see you have an AWD as well. Have you dropped it yet?
