ok, no offense, but the smoked headlights is ghetto. I've only seen dodge intrepids and dodge rams with that. I think it's also pretty dumb b/c you'll be reducing your headlight visibility and effectiveness by doing so. so my opinion, the smoked headlights would be ugly as hell.

as for the smoked tails, I dunno if you should do it completely smoked, you could smoke out just parts (like the white part) or strips, etc. up to you.

as for me though, I wouldn't smoke either.

I really like the smoked tails, particularly where they smoke the red part, and leave the white. There's some pics floating around of cars with it.
