I don't want to weigh in without seeing a better pic (further away) of the car. I wanted to do this to mine but after tinting the windows and going with black wheels, I decided it would be too much.

If you smoked the clears, and left the red stock it'd look better.

nice job! I love it. I smoked my tail lights with one coat of nite shades and it was perfect to me. Some people think smoking it out is ghetto but its only ghetto is you smoke them completely black which is tacky to me. A light to medium tint looks great in my opinion but of course it has to work well with the car's color. I have a 2006 SGM and the light tint works amazing with the color and looks so much better than the original red to me so I couldn't be any more happier. It gives it an aggressive look which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Need to sand and polish those things to make them look glossy... looks "unfinished" as it sits right now IMO.

I think it would look better if the car was a dark color.
