Default should I?

I've tinted other taillights before, but I'm debating if I should tint ones on my GS.

I dont think it looks right on a GS. Not very classy to me.

i think it only looks so-so. maybe sporty if you want your car to look aggressive, but that's about it.

the outter taillights they are probably tinted or smoke sprayed.

but the inner ones, either it's a cover, or they painted the inner taillights complete solid black. that looks too dark to be tinted to me?

You guess it probably better than mine- just assumed they were. Never thought about it now that you say that - yeh you can't just dump layer after layer of tint to acheive that look??

Looks kinda cool on the whole aggressive car look- but don't like the blitz wing. To think that Junction Produce has black inner lights- you pay who knows how much for- don't seem to sell well cause never saw a pic of them on a car?

well the jp gs is the only one i have seen with those covers. now i culd be wrong on this one, i believe on the jp setup, they actually took out the inner taillights and replace it with the cover. i never got the chance to study them to confirm though
