let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. Nice car, and it is VERY "blacked out" but I like the smoked tails....

Sick car, but like others have already said, definetely de-tint those headlights. Smoked headlights look ugly on ANY car. The blacked tailights look good, though. I would keep those.
