What'd you tint your taillights with?

im3cpo

From what I understand, they are technically painted. The process entails placing the light assembly in a vacuum sealed chamber and spraying it with a liquid "smoke" (for lack of a better word) paint. There is no lip or film on the light, so they give the appearance of being like this from the factory. You can however remove the paint by using a high grit sandpaper; so it is reversible too!

Same here.

Am I the only who loves the full red tails?

all red tails > tinted tails

Why do so many of us hate bright orange sidemarkers, but like bright red tail lights?

im3cpo- I'm in the minority here but I like your smoked tails.

MikeTc63

I agree ^^ I like the smoked tails and also like the bright orange sidemarkers lol.. car looks awesome

With my c63 bs i had chrome pieces wraped matte and only the bright back up light portion dark window tinted instead of smoked

im3cpo

Glad you like the look! I have to admit the car is much more fun to drive now for some reason.... I have some smoked side markers on order; maybe I will get them to match the tail lights?

im3cpo

Thanks! I knew I was going to be offending some people out there by doing what I did but it is what it is... I also have to admit that the pictures do not do it justice. It looks MUCH better in person!

Thanks again for your support.

I dont mean to get off track but a question: i have seen some shots of the c63 507 that appear to have the large MB badge on the grill glassed over. the standard release is obviously hollow but it looks as though some are not and have the glassed over look? is this correct or just bad photo quality?

Bardman

It depends on whether the car is fitted with distronic or not (drivers assist package). Distronic cars have the filled in logo. Its not only 507s, believe it applies to all models tht offer the option. I personally don't like the look, one of the reasons I didn't go for it (apart from the fact that I'm not really interested in any of the features).

Love the chrome delete on dark color cars like urs, not so much on light color cars. The tails is a love or hate thing, so dont worry about it as long as you like them & they are safe at night. Good job!
