I've scheduled an appt to have all lights and reflectors tinted and I'm on the fence about the tailights. I have the 50 yr pkg so I have the chrome trim around the taillights. I have found only one pic (on BWG) and it looked ok but not great. So. How would it look if all other lights and reflectors were tinted and left the taillights not tinted. Thoughts?

I think it would look best with the taillights done too. Here's mine.

I agree. And it seems that if you tint the headlights, you tint the tails too. But I'm not sure I like the tint on the tails with the chrome trim.

i want to do my tails so bad but it's illegal and more than obvious. I already got illegal tint on the car so I don't need another reason to get stopped in an orange car.

Im not doing my headlights or tails and doing everything else. I don't think it would look awkard or anything. I have the amber corners blacked out. I may do light on tails just so they're not blinding at the trunk though lol

The tint on the tails with the chrome trim will NOT look good. The chrome is going to be jumping out at you even more, unless you like that sort of thing.

Here's my car, before I had the tails tinted, with the tinted corner / marker lights

Next mod is gonna be those spacers, it really makes the car look a million times better. Kinda nervous since ive never useds spacers before, do they hold up against abuse? Hard cornering and such?

I cant recommend it enough, its awesome. I live in 90+ degree weather year round and my AITs stay consistent. Fits and looks like stock without having to cut anything, a dream.

Girls car has the tails tinted, It works on her car because all her shits blacked out (she's got black tails, the ford racing blackout panel, a black strip across the windshield, black wheels)

I've got gunmetal wheels so I feel the red is a good contrast, matches the red puddle lights ive got :cheers:

Yea I have had 4 mustangs and never used the spacers before. I have the steeda ultra light springs and it makes a huuuuge difference in where the wheel site in the back, like it was made for it. I corner the shit out of the car, if anything it helps with hop and just having the rear planted on take off. I love it and for $75 it looks like you have 19x10 in the rear. The only thing I'm wondering now is if you can run small spacers in the front.... Like the lowest ones they have because the fronts need to come out just a tiny bit to look like they sit right after a drop. Does anyone know if you can do this? I just know about. The rears and I love mine!!!!
