Well, I really liked the look on the FD 7's with their rear lights being sorta blacked out so I went ahead and thought of it for our 8's. What do you guys think? Should I do it darker or what?

 

I'm digging the rears, not sure about the fronts, too dark I think. Look good though. I liked the way they looked on that white MS car a while back. Good job man.

 

hard, not sure if you're aware of this, but this is illegal in CA...

 

My friend blacked out his front and rear tail lights on his Mustang. There are a lot of things that are illegal, however, it is such a small thing, people rarely get pulled over for them. No front plate, illegal tint, etc. Now if I got pulled over for speeding or some other offense, then he will most likely get me for all the other things I have illegally since I'm already stopped. But I have had a 30% tint all around and no front plate, and the cops around my area don't care. If I get pulled over, then well, I pay the price lol.

 

Looking good. yea it for sure looks like the supercharge white rx8 that was in SPEED with the blacked out lights. I've never seen one of these in the evening ... how is the illumination?

 

Looks good. The back is cool, but the front seems a little odd to me. I like the look of our lights though, because they look so futuristic.

 

like the rear only

 

This is photoshopped by the way lol, sorry, I guess I should have mentioned it. I just wanted to see how it would look.

I don't know, if you just do the rears, I would think it looks unporportional if you don't have the fronts. That's the other problem, I don't know exactly how much light would be able to pass through. My friends Mustang shows barelly any light when the lights are on. Even when his lights are on high beams, it's not even close to what the lights usually are, or maybe it's just because I'm used to how strong my Xenon's are lol.

 

Your friend is an accident waiting to happen. I'm glad I don't live near you.

 

I agree with most
I like the rear but the fronts are too much IMO

 

if u had the rears blacked out and not the front and worried it would be unproportional...another idea would be to have a cf hood...that evens things out i think

 

If you can just get the housing to be black (not the head/tail light itself) you be on the right track. Overall I don't think it looks that bad, kinda like it, just not for my car .

 

I like the rears

 

too dark for my liking...perhaps you can go old skool and have them sprayed transparent candy apple red?

 

sorry...don't like front or back...takes away from the uniqueness of the 8's lights, front and rear...just my opinion though...to each their own...

 

looks cool on the silver, but a little too dark for me. I would go for more of a smoke look...

Like this :

Still dark but you can see the lights inside. Maby even a tad darker....but yours are like PAINTED BLACK...

That guy sells all that kinda stuff, even has kits pre cut for the rx8, i used him to get my yellow film for the foglights, and the clear film for the headlights. Great product and very professional.

 

 

I can see why you'd want to do it, but to me the lights on the 8 are a work of art and should be seen in their full glory.

 

The blacked out fronts look spooky. That's not to say they look bad... Just very mysterious. Looks pretty cool.

 

front - no
back - yes
im going to get mine done as soon as one of my shops gets in his order.

 

I like the level of darkness on the Mazdaspeed Miata, just barely smoked. I thought about haveing it done but decided I want to have maximum lighting at night.

 

I've been looking for this. I love the way my car looks with the black duct tape over the lights when in track mode. I've been looking for a vinyl, or vinyl-like alternative. I like the FRONT lights blacked out. But not for nighttime, obviously.

I'll check out lamin-x and see if their stuff is removable.

 

Front doesn't look very good, especially with that grill thing you have going on. Back is too dark.

 

I couldn't tell how it looks. I think we need bigger images.

 

Um, yeah... I don't know how to change the size. Care to inform me?
