what do you think of this?

What i'm considering doing is blacking out just the centers of my tail lights. For now this is just electrical tape over the centers, but i just did that to get an idea of what it would look like....

What do you guys think of this?

thanks for the quick replies!


I'm not into tinting the whole thing, i just dont like the look personally, but like i said its just tape for now but i thought i would see what most people thought of it.


I love how it looks in the dark but in the light im not sure.

I have actually been thinking about doing this for awhile but Im just thinking about doing the white reverse light part black and leaving everything else red or making the white part red.

well what i really want to do, but i'm not sure about how to go about it yet -

I really want to try getting clear centers in the outer tails, like the inners have, the way higher end exotics look you know

What you should do is get a red vinyl and put it inside the lens. That way you still get the look at night, but not ugly look during the day.

Thanks and yea I dont really like it either, it might look good if you just smoke the white part instead of blacking it all out but i dunno we will see. I may just do it red instead of black so the tails are both completely red.
