Too dark. Someone can rear end you easily. I prefer a light smoke if any.

What you did is illegal in Calf. Be careful, no way to repair what you did.

What did you use to smoke your lights? I tried applying a vinyl overlay myself but the taillights are way too curved and the red circle that sticks out makes it even harder. Yours looks clean but maybe too dark. Is there any way to make it a lighter smoke?

i used pactra RC finish model # RC 294 you can do it as light as you want... you can buy it $5 a can at any hobby shop...i didnt wet sand it so if i do get a ticket and yes in Cali they are illegal some paint thinner and a rag will wipe it all off...ill take some pictures with the lights on they look perfect in my taste but then again i have 0% tint and everything else is as dark as can be.

The corners are a little darker than preferred i may have to go get a brighter bulb

Have someone setp on the brakes and you check it from behind. Then keep walking back farther.

You will see what I mean.

Also do this at night.

You may decide to make it lighter.

I'm surprised you didn't do the emblems when you were at it.

I love black wheels on white 8's. But i think it should stay a white 8, the CF hood doesnt go good with it IMO.
