I like it. I have the same exact color and year as your Lexus. In the sun you can still see the red tail lights but with a smoked look so it's not completely black. It's better than spraying them pitch black. Just black out the badges and your car will look a lot meaner!

Not for me. The finish looks matte and probably contributes to a lower visibility when the brake lights are on. I'd say wetsand and polish them at the very least. It looks half done as it is now.

I only like them when they're glossy and only on dark cars.

looks aggressive.. but I'm always pissed at people that black it out too much. It actually turns into a really big safety hazard

Looks like you did a good job with the tint. It looks dark compared to the white.

Not my cup of tea. But if you like it, that's all that matters.
