Umm...why?

Why take something that was designed to emit light and diminish it's capacity? I never understood why people did that. Tinted taillights just look cheap IMO and don't belong on the SC.

i tinted them on my brother's car, and it looks pretty nice.... you can see the light and everythin fine... it certainly is better looking on a white color SC than any other color..... just my opinion

as long as the cop still can see the light, it's gonna be ok.

+1 on the white cars with tinted tails... I just tinted my tail lights black on my white MR2, it looks really nice since it has the center piece black stock, and now it looks kind of like a Ferrari 348 with a black bar going all the way across the back of the car. Also did something similar to my white Talon, and it came out nice.

I didn't think it would look good on my SC tho, but there are different shades of black that might. I'm going to be doing a little custom project in the near future thoughthat should turn out very decent

That red spray looks perfect to me. You'd have to know that it used to be orange; the color match is exact. Looks particularly good on a black car.

Mine is pearl white, and I actually kind of like the orange taillights. The color combo is pretty to me.
