Yeah, tinted tails on a white or light color car just doesn't flow well IMO. I would prefer the 97+ tails because they just look so freakin CLEAN. But, its your car and its what you like.

Matador, of course you could. You could do this to headlights if you wanted.

I liked them without the black, but they look alright like this too. If you like them, it's all good man!

way too much contrast, a lighter shade would have looked classier.

I have to agree with everyone else on here, they are too dark for my taste, but good effort, and the bottom line is.... ITS WHAT YOU LIKE!
