    I think they look like you did a good job on them, but they seem a bit too dark for my tastes. What kind of spray did you use to smoke them?

    Wax your car man. Tinted taillights normally look good but on your car they're darker than the faded black paint.

    also might want to try wet sanding a bit and clearing it a little. every time someone tints their lights it always looks rough.

    hmm...to each his own.

    put about 5 coats of clear on each taillight. when it dries wetsand them until they are both smooth, ull see what im talkin about. then buff them out and they will have a nice shine to them and if u keep them waxed they will look very good. my b/f did this to his Z, it took him a few times to figure out the exact way to do it but it came out awesome
