I just installed my new set of smoked corners and wanted to share. These are unlike anything you have seen before! You can notice in the pics that they give off a very dark cast in the shade...but in direct sunlight you can see how transparent they really are... What do you think? (please excuse the dirty car)

 

Drksyde'ss are better hahaha j/k.. he has the same thing done to his car. I like the look but to much black for me. How much did it cost ya man?

 

cool...i like it

 

that looks cool, did you smoke it your self or purchase them already smoked? i want to smoke my tail lights but im afraid i may not like it afterwards, i want to see smoked taillights in person. but that looks nice, especially since your car is black.

 

^Look up Drksyde's profile he has a link to his myspace page with pictures of his smoked out lights. The things look pissa.. though check your local laws since it may just be illegal. ><!

 

I prefer this look instead of a clear corner or an orange one!

 

looks awesome painter

 

drksydes lights are darker than mine!

 

I plan on stealing his tail lights bwahahahaha....! shhh dont tell him though.

 

Thanks, I wanted a smoke look that was not too dark..

 

i had smoked ones before i got the kit, but we shaved them on the new bumper

 

Ok, this is what I did... I purchased the jdm clears from mazdaparts.com and smoked them myself! I basically made a transparent black paint and painted them.. I could do this with any color...phantom gray, winning blue, velocity red..etc. I see just about every member on this forum with clears. I dont know why more people dont tint them their cars color!

 

Yup, thats exactly why I shaved mine

 

I think the marker light just breaks up the bodylines too much...simplify it to see it natural beauty!

 

nice!!!
Same as mine!!!

 

Looks good!

 

This is MSTYLES car. He has the smoked tail lights and I think they really smooth out the look of the car. He did not have the smoked corners when I took these pics. If he has not done this he should. I think they look great.

 

not bad...

 

hmm... those look really nice. i just wish u could buy them off the shelf like that... personally, i think clears enhance the look on lighter colors, like silver & white- but not so much on darker colors, like black & red. the smoked look accents dark colors really nicely tho.

 

I totally agree.. If my car were white or silver I would keep the corners clear. but the clear corners just look silly on black!

 

You cant get away with red corners. But I'm thinking about red taillights. The VR mid coat will do the job.
BTW your blacks on black looks great.

 

Thats hot!!!

 

does it still light up amber/orange? if not that might be an issue for some states. looks good though

 

I have the orange bulbs installed and it lights up fine! Although I was thinking of installing the clear ones!
