Default Tail Light Tint.

Do you think this is rice looking?

I have the tail light tint on mine. Just get them completely tinted. I am undecided whether or not to blackout between the tail lights

I think it really sets it off.

I was thinking about doing this a while back but IMO on torch red it just seems to look weird when the tails are tinted. Because the tails and the body color are just about identical. That's why I decided not to tint my tail lights

That won't look as good with the SS inserts, you've have to go with black ones

Lol nah your photography skills are decent from what I've seen in the past, your camera just takes the grainiest photos ever. I don't know if you have your ISO set too high or what but they're grainier then cell phone pics. lol

Those 2 pics look perfect.

The ISO controls how much white light is let in, the higher the number, the more light, that's where the graininess comes from. Lower it and takes some pics.

imo the tail lights look like the worst way to spend money. such a rice product. dont ruin a mustang with that. im all for the decklid panels, i love those. if you got tail light covers, like the photoshop chop in the pic above, that would look awesome. i suggest that.

Please do not do the flames...

The black panel and tinted tails would look good though. I'd agree with everyone else and say you would need to get black inserts or just remove them.

Here is mine:

yeah im not going to go with the flames. It was a bad idea on my part. They seemed like a good idea at the moment but not any more.

nah not really. To me people usually get the tail light tint because they want their tails darker like the rest of the car. When you car is as red as the tail lights the tint seems to throw it off a little. Just my opinion though. Plus his car is a much sharper red than that picture shows.

EDIT: Except for yellow cars and with them I don't think it looks right unless they have the whole panel blacked out. People with white cars get it because white/black go better than white/red haha

i didn't say it looks bad i said i think it would look real good with the deck lid blackout (if it were photoshopped on there i might change my mind but visually i think it would look even better) to go with the bumper inserts and your wing.

and...

Get your tips raised already!!! lol
