My smoke taillight
Just smoke my taillight last week. Looks good IMO, more strong image. Shoot next to an S class taillight to compare.

Well i like it 
. But the thing is i dun want to mess up with the brake part. U only have 3 brake light (Left, center and right) while indicator u still have two in the external mirror. It's a bit too dark i guess, so doesn't look that glossy. Appreciate your opinion anyway 
, more are welcome

The turn indicators in the mirrors are not very visible from the rear of the, that's a weird argument.
Most people smoke the tailights to hide the red so that it blends in with the car more, like changing the orange sidemarkers to clear, so they stand out less giving the car a cleaner look.
If you want a glossy look, take some gloss clear coat and apply it overtop of the smoked part - it brought back the shine to my smoked taillights.

taylor192: If u stand behind the car, you will definitely see it. Or maybe u should ask the driver behind u to tell u that, it is very visible from the behind.

I think the way you smoke it is better than smoking the whole assembly. However, maybe its the lighting or the angle, I find it a bit too dark, just a tad lighter might look more classy (more M5 look).
