How Popular Is Rear Tail Tint on Black Car?
I've seen some cars that have this, goes very nice on white, and looks cool on black as well. Just wanted to make sure it's not tacky and everyone's say on it. Also, I've seen different combo's done, some leave the white out (My preferred method) and some go all black. Suggestions and ideas?

Definitely go with leaving the white not tinted and it will look spot on!

So tint the tails, the Red area and leave the white untouched. What % should I get tint, so at night I don't get hassled too much by police and also others car see me brake? Would 30% be sufficient.

I am not sure on the %, but on a scale of 1 to 10 a cherry color is probably a 6 and a all black is 10 like on my car.

I have my current ones blacked out. I'm going through the same dilemma. I have an extra set and don't know what part to tint.

You would honestly consider using TINT on your headlights?
