    Smoked looks better but it is endangering other drives as well as yourself. Try to get some custom LED tail lights made.

    Also, smoke out your reverse lights.

    Thanks for the responses. I think the smoked is definitely going to be a better look. Had my Dad test out the brake lights and blinkers to make sure they are still visible and everything checks out good.

    Other thing I am debating is to smoke the corners next to my headlights.



    My blinkers are already in the bumper behind the custom mini grills I made. These are just parking lights so they do nothing special.

    I say no, it will make the edges between the main assembly and the corners more apparent. I think they look better now because they are clear and blend as one oval shaped unit. The side markers however, could use a tint job to remedy some of that orange.

    The tint on the back by the way, is a great idea. Also try out LED tail lights, instant on, and quite bright.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Wait till it is dark and raining. That's the big difference.

    I know it looks dark, but the light still shines through pretty well.
