Smoke the lights ?

If the car were black or silver, I'd already have sent the tail lamps in to be smoked. But with the graphite paint I am not sure if it would look good or not... what do you think ?

Take a pick. I wouldn't do it on a black car, but it's all up to personal taste on a graphite car. Beautiful car btw!

If you smoke them, leave the clear alone and just tint the red.
