Default thinking of tinting my taillights, need opinions

I am thinking of tinting my taillights, should i only do the red part and leave the blinker and backups clear or should i spray the whole light, which way do you guys think would be better?

All of nothing man.

kahnvict, does your cat-back have any sort of identification on it? I really like how it looks.


Off topic and not to single you out, kahnvict, but I always think its funny when people black out their license plates. Everyone on the road sees them, why can't we?! lol.

YES! I knew I could sucker you into posting your license plate!

I love those headlights untinted, I had them on my 5th gen. I also tinted my stockers before I got them and they both looked great. It's really your choice, either way they'll look awesome.

Probably cheap I guess. Most manufacturers stamp or engrave their logo on the muffler or tips. Damn, I was looking to score a cheap exhaust.

I think it'd be better whole. This might help out.

You should take apart your taillights and paint the inside of the clear part that would look soo much better, oh keep the stock ones to do it to. I just painted my taillights on my 95 and it looks great. I have pics on my cardomain of what i have done but they are not installed yet. Here...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2599644 The pics show alot more white in the black part cause the wall but they look great on my car. I just put them in a couple days ago so i should have some pics by this weekend. If you dont want the hassle of taking them apart and glueing them back together then just tint the clear part.
