Now I have to get the windows done.
 
STOP! NOT! ADVISED! dude i cant believe you did that ;) lol, dont you realize a msp (not mine) rear ended this guy cuz he had tinted taillight lenses. when you get rearended dont say i didn't warn u.
 
Actually that it not that dark compared to the black out type your talking about. But I know what you mean.

Just make sure at that the lights are still easily visable from the rear at a good distance. And do not tint the third brake light.
 
well if ur gonna lightly tint them tint all 3, but i advise putting in the third brake light blinker thing thats on another thread here, becuz that will grab hte persons attention behind you. so i hear your gonna be at hte meet this weekend in columbia its gonna be good to see you there remillers
take care

Yep it's looking like I'll have time to make it up there. Just finishing up helping my roomate with his CRX ZC motor, which should be running this Saturday.

Better not rain Sunday morning so I can get the P5 all pretty looking :)

Yeah not to mention when it's rainy or foggy out, driver's coming up on you won't be able to see you as quickly.

It's just like those stupid GTS headlight covers....I mean why would you want to hinder the light output of your headlights? I could understand if you never drove at night, but still.
 
just my opinion, but i dont like the look...........should have just gotten carbon fiber altezzas..........but thats just me.
 
Do u know it would hurt someone's feeling after someone spent money on something they prefer and u want that person to regret.

lol just kidding... they just wanted to give u opinion haha. if you did it then it's good, i give it 7/10.

well forget all of you that don't like them. I think they look good. Hmmm how about these on mine.

BTW < they are not photoshopped)

I Love the way they look and they are plenty bright enough when you hit the brakes. Plus they are still bright enough to see them regularly. Not sure how it would look on any other color than black but I love it. Also I did not tinti my 3rd brake light so it is still bright as s***.

looks good. it was bright when i took those pictures of mine, but they look like yours. and yes, they are plenty bright when the brakes are hit. i can even see at night when i put the car in reverse.
