black tail lights (on black SCs) look cool, what was wrong with them, isn't the paint transparent?

oh, need to have the reflectors visible or something else, too? if you take the paint off the 97+ tails they'll still look bad-***.

I told you they were nasty.
Unpaint them and your car will look a lot better.

If you do smoke them, you should lightly smoke the inside red lens like how this picture looks.
Disclaimer: This car does not have smoked tails. It's just the lighting.

Everything you do to your car in Cali is against Cali vehicle codes, it's just a matter of when you get pulled over, not if and also if the cop is nice enough to give you only a warning, instead of a ticket.

Yeah its such a pain. But these laws were made for a reason. Safety reasons. I say spray a light layer of smoke instead of the 5% blacked out tails.
