tail lights!

so i was thinkin about getting these tails for my car
cuz i dont think blacking them out would ok or idk
cuz the stock tailights look real plain n boring

here are the tailights
there supposedly carbon fiber but there the closest thing to matching my car
unless anyone knows any better ones





and then heres my car





unless anyone knows what would look best tell me

Ya if you just go a light coat of nightshade it should look good, and if you dont like it just get some paint thinner and whip em off. When you darken em though make sure you take the covers off and do them on the inside... some ppl are actually stupid enough to spray the outside haha

Left is lightsmoked vinyl and the right is regular just to put stuff in perspective




Doesn't changed it that much but just enough to let you know they got darker and No... just because you smoke them doesnt mean your trunk turns into carbon fiber
