I tinted my rear tails on my truck.. looks good on silver cars/trucks.. if you do it.. make sure you upgrade all the bulbs to hyperwhite style so cops cant say shit.. and do the whole thing.. not just the red part

I actually like some colour on the a$$end. Looks good with the silver. We're lucky enough to have red and white plates in AB as well to coordinate.

I like em the way they are. Leds too. :burnout:

imho, just leave it clean as is, not too many people tint anything these days, 5 years ago it was a fad...

Jaylo is correct, you don't want to look like a 'darth vader' wannabe do you? Like those people who put ventshade crap all over the car just for the sheer sake of having something, anything (black plastic) all over the car. Headlights, hoodguard, rock deflector, sunroof defelctor, side window deflectors, rear quarter window covers, rear taillight covers. :barf:


If you tint the tails, the rest of the car won't match unless you do all of the crap listed above. Looks good as is!:thumbsup:

Leave em - It looked good - 5 years ago. And if you tint it, it won't be easy to go back to stock i don't think. Stock tail lights look best!

I think you should just leave your lights alone

Save up for a JRSC or Turbo!

Depends what you are doing I guess
But most places will only hire knowledgeable individuals so age is not a huge factor if you know your stuff

Tint, windshield washer LED's, side markers, two sets of fog lights, an exhaust that sounds like you have a S/C and one of these:

And your car will be showcar material. Seriously tho, leave em stock.

Hey Shoobs, I've got a great (IMHO) idea! Why don't you offer to tint Civic_Rida's tails and leds for free. Then you can take pics and show them around to all the performance shops as part of your resume. Also your business cards on CR's car at show 'n shines and stuff and you can have your own taillight tinting business happening. No one I know of in town doing it right now, so it could be a great opportunity! You can do websites, too, so set up an internet e-commerce site and have customers come to you. Sounds like lots of guys on this forum would like their tails tinted, so why not go for it!
