Core charge 160 (not sure what this means)

That means if you do not return your original tail light lenses to them they will charge you an additional $160.00 .

I think it would look pretty cool.. the picture makes it look really dark which I'm sure is not the case... have you guys seen the C36 wiht the dark/smoked tail lights.. it looks pretty nice...

Fuzzo

THanks man.... I guess they smoke the lenses inhouse...

awiner

Yup... You can buy the smoke spray and do it yourself. I have never tried it but have had some friends do it on their cars and have had great sucess.

Fuzzo

the only thing I heard about the spray was that it gave it a dull look...whereas the lenses in the pic look sorta shiny.... do you remember if your friends' lenses had a shiny look to it....

awiner

I think that depends on wheather you spray the inside of the lens or the outside. I assume that if you can get the lens apart, you can spray the inside and then the outside would have the stock shiny sheen.

Other than that, maybe a satin clear over the outside sprayed lens could produce the sheen as well.

Looks great! But won't be available in Europe... we've got TÜV/Dekra service stations which check if cars are travellable (by law!), they need certificates to be harmless by the manufacturer of the car, so "smoked" tail lights will not get a TÜV "okay" or will get through a police surveillance...

BTW it's a very high price!!! MTS-Carstyling offers new made tail lights with a 1.000 pairs edition for 125,-- Euro each pair (this is an example for red-white Mercedes W201 tail lights)
