I blacked out the tail lights and I think it looks wicked, but I was wondering what the rest of you on here think.
Thoughts?  I've been wanting to paint the car myself. But other than an air compressor and air gun I'm not sure what all I need. I did the lights with spray paint and clear coat. Any help on how to go about painting the whole car (besides spray paint  ) would be greatly appreciated as well.Thanks guys.

I think it looks nice. blends with your license plate panel. also, cheap mod for those who don't have JDM tails. I think it fits your car very well.

Uhhh well I don't think you should use spraypaint on your tails, use night shade. I think the look you got though is awesome! Very nice!

Tinted tails lights is like asking for an accident I remember their was a thread about a guy who tinted his 6gc tail light and got into an accident the same day its on the board somewhere. I've seen cars with tinted tails around my area and driving behind one is no fun...
