I was looking through somewhat outdated pictures of my car and I came to notice how my tail light looks like it has been tinted dark on the top crease and inner sides.... and I was kind of interested in trying it out on my car.

My car is almost "done" and I don't want to just starting to do things to it out of boredom. I'm afraid it will begin to detract from my car. [And yes, I know, we are never done, but everything I originally wanted done to it has been completed.] So, would this be something that would add to my car or detract?

Thanks guys

 

IMO, detract. I like my taillights with nothing on them other than redouts

 

^agreed. but if you're that curious you can try it out and see if you like it for yourself.

 

Maybe IS-F tailouts to balance out the red?

 

I'd probably vote no on painting it, as it already has the "look" from certain angles

hehe... "done"

 

I vote fully paint them like I did.

^don't....
I agree w/ is-f tails or 2011 tails

 

I have no opinions about it, it is too minor for giving an opinion.

 

I personally like the look of the tails with just the red outs too. Not really a fan of having anything on the tail lights, especially dark tint lol.

 

IS-F tails or eBay.

 

Red outs for sure

 

... I don't think a few guys are understanding the question at hand. I don't want to black out the entire tail light, swap to 2011 tail lights or swap to ISF tails. I love my red outs and my 2006 tail lights. What I am asking is if I should tint the upper crease of the tail light, which would simulating how my tail lights looks like in this picture.

But thanks for the input!

 

leave it the way it is, looks nice now.

Ahhh, I see. One of CL's NorCal members did something similar to her '09 tail lights: she smoked just the top of the tail light, above the crease:

 

Less is more.
