Irony.

No i think what "itsblack" meant by take your smoked tails lights off is the guy in the truck that hit you could say he couldnt see you brake lights because there so dark.

this is exactly what i thought as well. just because you say you can still see through the tint doesnt mean that the insurance company will believe it.

wow dude chill. thats what he meant about your lights. that guy could take you to court and say he couldnt see your lights. if you used the spray it says on the side of the can "for off road use only". clearly you were on the road.

with that said sorry to see a nice z hit like that. hope you get it fixed soon.

That may be what he meant, but he said it in a way that was attacking me. Some people need to learn proper communication skills and think about what they say before they say it. I understand what he was trying to say. Regardless of my lights, you're always at fault when you rear end someone. I've learned this the hard way... neither the cop nor the person who hit me even made mention of the lights. And thanks man, my apologies if I was quick to jump on him...but I don't appreciate his post and he could have worded it better especially at a time like this. This car is my baby

Yeah you would think that would make the other insurance company comply with you, but the one I am dealing with doesnt seem to want to. The man the hit me had a full leg brace on and was on the way to have SURGERY on his right leg for gods sake. Plainly shouldnt have been driving.

QFT, i just got my car back from the body shop after being rear ended. Make sure you hold your ground and know your story. The insurance company will try to pressure you into excepting less. get EVERYTHING fixed like it was before (or better if you can get away with it) They tried to make me pay $190 to paint my spoiler, because it wasnt damaged in the wreck. I told them that it wouldnt match the new trunk paint, but they didnt care. In the end, i only paid $21.02

and again, if you can get your hands on some stock tails from a totaled 350, do it. It will cover all your bases, if nothing else.
If i can be of any more help, let me know. I JUST came out of the situation your going into, so i feel ya.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I think I'm in the clear with the lights, because nothing was written on the report about them being blacked out and they didn't even come up the whole time the cop was there. I believe the law is that they are legal if you can see through them a certain distance away (300ft) and you definitely can with mine. But thanks again, I can definitely tell the difference between those who care and those who care to insult lol

hey man its cool. i was just saying that he was really just looking out for you as i was. i have the same tint on my tail lights. i really depends on what cop you get if they are illegal or not. a buddy of mine got pulled over because of his and after talking to the cop he said that they were fine because he could see enough light through the tint. good luck with getting it fixed!

Most situations. Not all. In this situation, he was at fault. (I'm not of fan of the tinted tails either, but you should be in the clear).
