Blacking out a V6

[Stormtrooper5.0]

So I currently have a 2015 V6 black, I have the MMD matte decklid panel, window tint im ordering some matte black GT500 wheels. But should I go for the full blacked out look and get the head/tail light tint kit as well?

Or is it f*ing tacky, especially since its just a V6.

You should do what you want really, it is your car after all.

Though this blacking everything out is tacky and no way stealthy.

I don't know about tacky, but it sure is boring.

Yea, I may leave the lights as it is, it probably looks better without the light tint if everything else is black, give it some type of contrast. Also I might get pulled over for that crap.

Don't do tail lights.

Drove behind an Accord this morning with blacked out tail lights, could barely tell when he was braking. Sure fire way to get in an accident/pulled over by the cops.

Plus if you do get rear ended with blacked out tail lights, the insurance companies might not think it is automatically the other guys fault.

I've got the matte decklid too. It looks pretty good, I've also got the matte tail light trim. They don't line up so good. Wish I'd not bothered with them. Can't even take them off glue is so strong.

I really don't like the total blackout look on lens. I do however like the headlight amber amber lens tint from Anchor Room (dark tint, but not the blackout version).

I just saw that, for only $20 I might give it a shot. Do you have it? Can you post a picture?

Yea I was actually looking at that but I saw the reviews and they said the same exact thing you said so im skipping out.

I think it depends. I would personally avoid matte black, as that just looks like you plastidipped it. That looks tacky.

Blacking everything out can look good, but it's not my favorite look.

We have complete rear LED sidemarkers available with a smoked-lens option:

They look great both on & off:

I would like to get a set of these, have y'all got the bugs worked out with the LEDs going out?

We've corrected all of the issues with them since they were initially launched. They also undergo considerably more testing to prevent the possibility of those early issues.

Our engineering team added several large (and expensive!) pieces of equipment to aid in the testing of our sidemarkers as well (Temperature & Humidity, Rain, Corrosion, and Vibration test chambers).

They are also backed by our solid, 3-year limited warranty.

Thank you!

Glad to know, now I can place an order for a set. I figured y'all would get it straight eventually, I just didnt want to give the local law enforcement any more of a reason to pull me over. Thanks folks!
