Hey guys, I have been debating this for longer then we have been thinking of the meaning of life. Well I still cannot decide. My car is Beige Metallic and my wheels are on the darker side. They aren't quite gunmetal but aren't silver. It's super hard to get the color on them. I need something to pull them together and have though of VERY lightly smoking my tail lights. What would you guys think on this?

Here is a pic of my car:

Maybe you can try out the LED tails with the smoked turn signals. Smoking stock tails looks ghetto like all the Altimas around here.

 

Get the 01 tails..I wouldn't mess with the LED's...Unless you get the ones that look like the JP's with the small clear section or just ball out and get the JP's

 

I was thinking something along the lines of this.

 

Those are alot cleaner then the ones with the clear section

 

Man, I vote for smoking out the lights.
The place where I bought my taillight film from has three different intensities of darkness.
Charcoal – the darkest… allowing 70% light out put (this is what I have)
Smoked – allowing 83% light output
Gun Smoke – this shade is new, I doubt its darker than the charcoal

The films are a whole lot cheaper than swapping out the lights entirely, so if you don’t like it, then you are only out 60 bucks instead of 1200 or so.

 

You can try smoking just the middle section first with vinyl overlays. If you dont' like the look, you can get the LED tails with the smoked section.

 

Just goto a tint shop and ask for a few little scraps of left over tint. Usually they throw those away so they will give it to you if you ask. Otherwise slip them a few bucks and they won't have a problem with it. If still no luck, you can buy a whole roll for about $20-30. It's a lot cleaner than the pre-cut overlays but window tint takes a bit of skill to apply.

 

Try it out and see what it looks like. I like the smoked led ebay ones. You could do your side markers too!

 

Why not try the tint out. Could save you a couple bucks...gunna need to save all your pennies for that turbo idea you got. If you don't like it you could always get the LED or 01's.

 

I just did my 02 gs300 orange part with the red overlay from ebay. THEN applied 35% smoked tint on it from ebay. It all cost me around $30 and it looks amazing. I have the black and white theme going. Ill try to post pics in a few days as my camera isnt working.

 

Alright i'll be looking forward to those pics...anyone else?

 

I got another idea. Clear your stock tails, and lightly smoke the clear middle part. :thumbup.

 

I like the light smoke look. Did it to mine and have been very happy with it.

 

i'd just take the orange part out.
