I dunno, i want to smoke out my tail lights, but when i see this guys car i'm really thinking about it doing it soon. it looks real nice contrast on a white car.

I know i would probably get a ticket for it, but lets say we compensate and get brighter brake bulbs? what do you think?

I love the smoked out look!!!! My buddy just got it done, and I am seriously contemplating it, but he did stress to me that it is illegal and if you were ever in an accident or hit from behind you could be sued out your ***. Just don't want someone to rear end my car, get hurt, or fake it, then be sued.. Anyone know the law in NY or in other states??

Blackcls63. That tint is hot. I like the way it looks with the white reverse left alone. How is everyone having this done? I'm not very handy doing it myself. Where can I get it done? i'm in the DC area.
