that is the question lol every since i got my cf trunk on ive been looking at the inner tail lights and 3rd brake light and thinking if it would look good to tint those and leave the outers red what do you guys think and anybody have pics of this done? if i do them i wanna leave the backup part clear not all black

bigger pic

 

Tint the markers also!

 

uhh no lol

 

yes!

^^X400

 

haha thanks anybody have pics of it done tho? or would i be the first at least with a cf trunk

 

Everyone tints tails anymore

 

im not doing all of them just the inner!

 

We need someone to do a photochop here. I can see exactly what you're getting at here. I think it would flow nicely. Just plz do clear on them.

 

whatever you do just dont nightshade

 

id do it keep the outter ones with the red to match the paint and the innerones tinted to match the carbon fiber better. Go for it!

 

so like this is what your saying.. it looks alright.. definately different

 

there is nothing wrong with nightshade when done right... its just 80% of people do it wrong

 

thank you! and yea i used nightshades on my cavalier and it worked good but i was prob gonna do that black vinyl overlay stuff made for tailights that way if i dont like it i can just rip it off later

 

no niteshades gives you some shitty light output. but if its just the 3rd brake light and reverse lights it doesnt really matter.

 

yea thats true nada will be lit up and ill prob get the led 3rd brakelight

 

....why?

o nm i read a couple post above mine the pic looks good, but me thinks you should go a lil darker than that

 

well heres the thing.. the nighshades no matter how you do it isnt going to match the carbon fiber.. it could get close depending on the shade you tint them, but they might stick out if the shades of black between the tails n the cf are off (call me picky but just my .02)

how so?

 

yea i know i just want them to semi match ya know

 

umm pretty self explanatory haha. unless your only doing like one or two coats. if you wanna tint your tails and still have good light output get someone to do it with a gun black paint and clear

 

well i mean yea its going to effect light output, but technically the black paint will let less light through than the nightshades will.. it all depends on darkness though...

i personally only have 2 coats of nightshades on mine n they are easily see-through

i say either do them all tinted or leave them the way you got them.. doing half of them seems unfinished for some reason

 

i have 3 and they are dark as ****. looks good other than that though haha.



this is the way to go

well i wanted to do just the trunk so theyd match better and be diff unlike most people on here who copycat each other thank god i havent fallen to any of the "trends" yet

 

wrap the inner tails in carbon fiber so it blends with the trunk and leave only the reverse cut out.
do it you wonnttt

 

wrap them in cf vinyl or what do you mean?lol

 

should have got a g5 carbon fiber trunk
