    They look perfect. Is that a film, or a spray?

    Build thread....nah...just check my signature...since I rarely almost never take my car apart...so there will be no how to's coming from me...and if I did ...laughs and flames...is what I expect...but a clear picture is always nice to see...these tails have taking a year of searching and pausing and going the AM...route(valenti)....which...you know...is just expensive....if ya wanna buy my old v tails...they need a lot of led work...I would sell...PM me for details...and yea...we guys go hard..$$..for mods round here..

    Wow these look great! Might have to try this out on my stock tails... maybe mask off the reverse and turn signal and get that wannabe G's look.

    Sure....at least this is just another way of keeping the stock tails...the main reason I had mine done..is the stock lights at night...look great but that silver on the side for me was...yuck..!!!

    I agree. The side profile on a dark colored car is garish. I'm getting mine smoked on Monday.

    Tinting rear lights can result in the transfer a percentage or all of the liability to an owner of the modified vehicle when a crash occurs.

    And why would anyone want to increase the risk of injury to himself and the probability that their vehicle will be struck by another?

    I have made many lighting modifications to vehicles over the past 50 years including three on my wife's Prius which are described in my signature block below and have never made a lighting modification that made a vehicle less visible to other drivers.

    That's my rant. Now go tint your tail lights so you can look like a "ricer" and earn that "Darwin Award".
