How have people been going about smoking their lights? I'm sort of new to modding my car and I got an estimate for $350 to paint & bake the shade onto the lights. Does this sound good?

just for the curiousity...
I think it looks really hot when a "Brand New" looking cars are modded.
and when it has smoked taillights, it is very acceptable and real cool...
but when it gets old...maybe like 3 years from now...
it looks better when it does not have smoked taillights...
doesn't it?...
look at some Honda Civic guys on the road...
they might have smoked taillights and looks so cheap and it is cheap...
so I used the overlay to cover, just so that I can remove it later.

Yes, remove the red before smoking out. It will save you trouble in the end as the redout will be budging out once the smoke is on top of it. I tried installing it with the red and it did not look so good so I took it out and redid it.
