I would love to smoke out my tail lights but i'm too chicken because of runs-ins with the law . Where I live it's illegal.

I like the smokeout look, but only if you could keep that glossy look. I did a smoke turn signals on the front of my Integra and it looked good, but I didn't like that dull look. I have red outs on my IS now.

I always wondered about this because some cars like the SL55 AMG have tails that come smoked from the factory.

Smoking it out color matches better with SGM on the 2IS

to each his own. i think smoking them takes some of the class away from the car; it's more of a teenager type thing (or at least that's what i think of when i see a smoked out car). i personally did red outs and couldn't be happier with how they look on my SGM!

I'm a teenager, so I voted for the smoke-outs.

red outs for sure.. if u can wait. go ISF (hopefully itll be available) if u cant wait.. go smoked.

but then again. this is what i would do.. and if u go smoked, go vinyl, cuz then you can take them off if u dont like them.
