Looks nice! How did you do the tails?
I'm going to guess he used Nite Shades since he did the mirrors as well???

Looks good but how about some color pics so we can see the contrast between body color and tails. :)

Wow dude.....looks great!! I love those wheels and definitely the tail tints. I'm trying to find a place to tint my tail lights too.....and I'm thinking of powder-coating the stock rims in black.

Got them tinted instead of painted. Just wasn't feasible to removal bumper due to where I live. I went a shade lighter than my tail lights. I drove down some poor lit roads that i"m familiar with and I noticed very minimal reduction in lighting than what I normally have when driving down those roads. I'm switching to Sylvania Silverstar Ultras here pretty soon so I should make up reduction and then some. As you can see from the pics the tints are light enough that you can still see the headlights but still give it a nice look. This is just another alternative for those of us looking to get the tinted headlight look.

The tinted head lights do look good but what about possible legal ramifications? Up here I'd be too worried about police and annual state inspections to tint them.

I've always wondered about that swap shop...Am I supposed to drive in there? Because I see everyone parking across the street and taking the overhead crosswalk.....do I just go get him and take him to the parking lot?

And he did your lights too? That's all I need...I was very happy with the guy that tinted my windows but he said he just doesn't do lights.
