personally i think it looks better without the tint but it doesn't look all that bad since your car is black.. definitely wouldn't pass if your car was any other color

I don't care much for it myself, I'd think about smoking the whole tails or clearing the amber if you want to do something with them.

Sorry but that looks terrible, but I do like your wheels.

And I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

Default Nay!

Not to be mean but I would have spent that 250.00 for some new tails. But as long as you like it, is all that matters!

cleared looks much better on 98-00 tails. This would look good with 01+ tails on a black GS.

might as well tint the whole taillight housing if you're going to do that.

Nay is my opinion. You said you like it and that's what counts
