I don't have ANY photoshop skills, but I do have pictures of my CL55 with smoked taillights, with the white parts cut out. Hope this helps.

IMHO, complete black is a bit much. I lightly smoked my taillights so it would seem like a darker red, instead of complete black.

1st pic: before
2nd pic: 1 side finished
3rd pic: comparison pic

this was taken inside a parking lot when it was dark outside. Sorry for the lack of quality in my pictures...they were taken by a cheap Moto Droid

I will try and take more pictures tonight during the Garden Grove taco meet.

my black 03 cl600 had smoked taillights and i thought it looked awesome. any, for what it's worth, did not create the same image that a set of 20" chrome bling wheel might create. it looked like it could have been stock.
