Question Smokin out tail lights

Is it best to have your tal lights tinted or can you just spray them? If tint, what %? If spray what kind. I dont want them black cause I have an 03 graphite pearl coupe with gunmetal rims. Or would just smoking em b ovr kill on the grey? Probably should go black. Any suggestions?

I had them tinted. I don't like the concept of spray tint. I had them tinted 30% and they look real good. They light up perfectly at night so no heat from the cops. My boy spray tinted his lights and they came out pure black, doesn't look too good. Do it right the first time and get actual tint.

Thanks Sweagle02! Everyone esle on my other thread just said to spray or search or do it myself. 30% sounds good cause it'll match the tint on my windows. (35%) How much did you pay and did you go to just a regular tinting shop?

No problem man. I actually got them done by a local guy I know. I got them done for $60. Any tint shop will do it though, not sure about the prices but be competitive and research for good prices. Also have them show u the difference in darkness from the tints, don't tell them "do whatever you want". You might regret it after haha. Good luck in what you do man. Let us know how it goes. Feel free to ask any questions as well.

Yeah, tint those bad boys. Spray tint looks cheap and ugly.
