Default For you photoshop gurus out there...

I am thinking about having the tail lights as well as rear bumper reflectors professionally smoked by Jon's tinted tails. Not too sure if I want to really go that route yet cause I kinda like the red. I just want to see what it would look like first if someone can kindly help me with their photoshop skills because I have no skills when it comes to that kind of stuff. He also said that there was an option to leave the clear part of the tail lights clear if I wanted to go that route. Here are a couple of pics. TIA ~Tu

Yeah, It was just a brief thought today. I will more than likely keep the red and just red out the amber. Just wondering and curious as to how it would look all smoked out with maybe just the white showing.

If you do it, do it a very subtle tint. The bumper reflectors can be as dark as you want. I plan to add black reflective tape to mine.

I can see where you're going and personally, I'd keep it OEM looking. Why mod just to mod? Why mess with perfection?

Mods are like tattoos, once you get one, you'll want to get another one.

Before you know it, it looks ricey or less than it's worth.

^ agree. Would probably be nice to black out the bumper reflectors to complete the look.
