nope, i dont... i had to get it removed due to the ignorant police...
, so once i get that ticket + speeding ticket paid off, i will get it put on again and i will definetly post pics.
btw, i am not sure where you live, but where i live it is illegal to tint the tail lights as it could cause safety hazard... just another bs reason so the police can write you up for....

Did you tint the entire tail light? I'm from providence RI. all they bust my ***** for, is for not having my front plate on, and window tint . here they give you a 5 day tag to remove it , which you have to bring it in to any inspection station, sometimes u know people, sometimes you have to remove it!!!! but is on again the next day ![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)

I finally tinted my tail lights SL55 style and side markers w/ third brake as well.
Also tinted all my windows 20%.
Will post pics as soon as it dries up and I could wash the car to make pictures sexy

I thought about smoking out/tinting my rear tail lights also, not too dark just darkeer then they are stock... or replacing with factory SL55 tail lights...since my car is black I think it'll look good. Anyone have a link to get the tint treatment or contact info for any good body shops to do the paint and clearcoat method? I am in the MD/DC/VA area...

Have a number or link to their website? How did they do yours? smoked tint vinyl or protective film on the outside of the tails? Or did they paint the tails and then use clear coat over the black/smoke paint?

You guys should try autobody craftsmen in rockville, they been around for over 25 years. They are going to tint my taillights when they are done with my quad exhaust and lorinser body kit.
