I like it man, good job. I wish i could see it in person though, pics can only do so much justice. Anyway i think it would look a lot better if you had the factory spoiler, look real slick, keep on with the good work.

I think it looks good. If I had a black car, I'd do the same thing.

yeah, maybe But I live in Arizona I dont think they're as strict as Cali. But I don't know why they would even pull me over because you can still see all the lights. You can only tell they're tinted during the day, at night it looks just like normal tails. So, I'm not sure, if there are any cops around here let me know what you think.

Looks good wouldn't be brave enough to do it permanently myself. It's cool how you can remove them so if you ever change the theme of your car you don't have to buy new tails.

Thanx for the kind words guys. I know its not for everyone, but personally I am pretty happy with how it came out. On a side note, I haven't gotten pulled over yet..... but i would definately like to find out if they are completely illegal? Because to my understanding, I thought you could tint your tails as long as you can still see the brake lights, running lights, and turn signals. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Things come and go. I remember headlight covers. LOL

I remember the F-Body blacked out head/tails.

But, if you do it right (JIC Kit or 97+ refresh), nice staggered 19" or 20" wheels with a drop - it will be hot. Otherwise, just do it clean with the 97+ tails and the fulkl refersh on some nice silver staggered wheels (19/20)
