Default Smoked Tail Lights Yes/No??

Ok guys i'm really thinking about getting smoked tail lights for my car beacuse i have 5% black out tint on my car already and i think tinted tail lights would look good with my car tint. What do you guys think. I also found this link....what do you guys think, and what percent should i get on the tail lights 38% or 20%???

Thanks a lot...and if you need to see my car or dont remember, you can look at the thread "pics of 02 GT"

I've heard that cheap stuff from ebay start to look flat black and peel at the cornors. But the blacked out tail lights will look good man.

E-Bay = Walmart. You get what you pay for.

As far as smoked tail lights go, I've seen them on black Cobra's, and they look pretty good. Wouldn't put them on a light colored stang though.

Do a search on Ebay for nightshades. It's a spray tint. You spray it on the tails and the more coats you apply, the darker it gets.

Im not a huge fan of them, but the beauty of the mustang is making it your own. Would be boring if we all had cars that looked alike...

They look great but how much do you like your rear end. I'm all for bad____ looking cars, but I almost ran into a truck the other day with this stuff on. The middle of the day, already had a glare on his back end...all I could see was the back break light over his rear window and told my wife his lights were out. Got up to a red light and I could see the slightest glimpse of a pale red sparkle from the inside of his tinted break light...great look, bad for old ladies and general grouches like me to follow behind. Go with a simple smoked tail light or get some of those really cool euro lights with the carbon fiber or black background and so on...so many choices other than black tint. Only thing nicer than black on black is chrome on black. Unless it was 1993...we could throw some gold trim in there!
