I would like to thank Blizzy first off since his post got me motivated to do it in the first place. I know that some do not feel the smoked lenses, but I really like the blacked out look on a Black SC. One turn-off for me has always been the tailights because they are freakin' HUGE. This seems to blend them in better and help the flow in my opinion. Regardless, here is how they turned out. I did not go super dark so you can still tell a hint of color below the black. $20 + an hour of my time so I happy.

well done man. thanks for the props in the heading. I am glad to have helped get you over the hump to go for it.

I think they look great. I definitely am a fan of how super sleek the rear end looks with the tails smoked.

Thanks. It really does make a huge difference in the way the car flows.

I live in Morristown which is 40 miles east of Knoxville so I am about 3 1/2 hours away from Nashville.

Could someone photoshop this with the top half still red? I have an extra set of tails on the way here and have been trying to decide which way to go...Half and half, or full tint.

Thanks in advance!!



Looks great btw!!
