i used protective film, its even; unlike paint, u can peel it off and it protects the lights
i got the darker choice, there is also a lighter smoke color
it all depends on the color of ur car

I'm not going to have my '05 tail lights smoked, but my CF guy said he wanted to make CF covers, that would cover the red portion of the tail light. I'm going to loan him my '05 tail lights so he can play around with them. Meanwhile, '03 tail lights are on my car.

Does anybody have smoked tail lights on a Silver C32? I am planning on Silver with Black rims and tint and all that, just curious if that black out tail lights would look good with the Silver/Black theme on the car. Also any pics with the tail smoked with the white part not?

Thanks

this option isn't so bad, so do they have pre-cut stickers already? or do they have to come out and do it? I'd totally be down for this b/c it's removable...
