I like the tinted tails better than the stock looking tails but thats not saying much. I like the 7 tails the best.

I don't know man...that doesn't look that great (IMHO). All the do-it-yourself tail lights end up looking cheap. VII or MR FTW, I like the altezza tail lights on my silver car but I think the VII look better on the black car. Just a matter of opinion though. I would like to find someone that would be willing to let me swap out there MR tails so I could see what it looked like before I bought them.

black on black looks bas *** IMO. i was gonna use the overlays but i ended up using the tint spray so that i could leave the turn signals unpainted for a little more contrast.
black that b!tch out bro:

Painting the tails looks good but getting them apart to do so is a pain...
