Tail light tint Q
 

Alright, I want to put some tail light tint on the car, but there's a small problem (mainly with my dad's concern of me getting rear ended..), could anyone post up some pics of blacked out tail lights with their brakes and lights on in daytime, and at night. The same for 50% smoked tint would help as well..I'm trying to show him that the brakes and lights are clearly visible through the tint in night and day (plus the 3rd brake light will be left un-tinted).

So if anyone can help out with that I'd appreciate it..the daytime pics are what I'm looking for mostly, especially ones in sunlight.

And here's a chop I did of the last things I need to finish off the black/white look, window tint, trunk vinyl (it will be gloss) and TT tint. What would y'all think of that look?

I will try to get some pictures for you tommorow if my GF doesn't go into work, but with my 50% tint you can clearly see the lights in daytime. I was rearended once in the v6 while I had tint, but that guy was a tailgaiting asshole and I know he saw my tailights.

looks oh so slightly familiar, I like it...haha.

try that thread pcola. Mixedbreed posted some pics of his tinted tails lit up a while back.
Hopefully this will help! and that chop looks great! good luck

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Haha..well I must admit your car is what originally got me into the black/white scheme..but I ain't doing those louvers..lol


Thanks, that helped a lot.

dude, on his car, the louvers ROCK!!!
just my .02c

haha, In time my good friend you will fall victim to the slatted windows...haha:p

Haha, they would look alright I guess, but I'm trying to stick to a streamlined look..you got the whole retro thing going on..hehe.

Here's some messing around I did...looks pretty cool IMO

But white's still better.:cool:

nice dude. Yeah the next stang I get is going to be much simpler and more streamline as you put it, with alot more put into the performance side of things.

Girlfriend went to work, so no pictures. She picked up another girls shift at the Hooters. I think the ones from Mixedbreed give a pretty close representation of what mine look like also.

Saw donnie's car at the mall today, couple pics

1st one.

Fine ya wankers..lol

I agree with the 1st choice. I had the 2nd for awhile but took off the valence blackout and it looks alot better now. Love the drop too!

first

This is an older pic with the lamps turned on. No brakes applied. This was daytime in a parking garage so maybe it will give you a good idea. Oh and don't worry..the 5 times I was rearended had nothing to do with my tails :)

Another vote for the 1st one. :Woot:

Haha, yea that looks good..and it took you long enough to post in this thread.

Thanks

When I tinted mine, I did one first then the other. With the brakes applied, there was no difference that I could tell. If you want, you could always get brighter bulbs.

these are mine w/ lights on

One thing that I know is becoming very popular, are LED bulbs. Check V-leds.com. They really help with brightness, etc. However, they can get expensive.

here's a pic of my taillight tint and the result.. :mad:

ouch that sucks man, but your light are not tinted that dark that person must have been blind.
