Default Smoked Tinted Tails on RX300
Installed this on my bros RX300. Took me about an hour to finish the job. Looks much better than the Altezzas in my opinion. Let me know what you think.

I like 'em. Did you paint them with VHT night shades or put tint on them?

I put vinyl tint on them. Better alternative than VHT imo since it can be taken off at anytime.

Bought it premade from a guy on fleebay who sells this stuff. The seller was able to customize the precut for me.

This may be a silly question, but is the tinting applied inside the lens or on the outside? If outside, is peeling off a problem with car washes, etc.?

I really like the look -- nice job!!

It is applied on the outside. I did it to my IS350 and its been on there for over a year and peeling off is NOT a problem at all. It stays on there pretty good.
