i like flavor 24/7's whole style, i'd do that if i had a white car.
but i have maroon

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

I think it would look good on maroon, black out clears up front, add AE mod and you'll have a nice theme going.

chillin014

iTrader: (67)

like this ?

Garrick

Aren't they illegal. That's just me talkin'.

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

it would depend on your state, but I'm very sure most to all tail mods are legal assuming the lights are decently visible when lit.

Just like that. Now Black out the tails and you'll have a definate theme/style going.

iTrader: (67)

yeah i will, i just need to decide if im going to do a 97 rear conversion or led tails or what

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

stick with 95 tails do led, would be much more cost effecient.

Or. . . CM Red Clears with Leds, or All Black tails all leds very bright to show thru the many coats of shade. . . just a thought .. .

local laws may be different from state to state, but most likely, yes. They are illegal here. I drove my car for about a year with those blacked out tails before a cop got me for them, but I got it because it was tacked onto a speeding ticket.

MidwestMaX1

Yeah, the old Jettas come stock with tinted tails. I've never gotten any flack from the cops here, even though they ARE douche bags.

what did all you guys use to tint your tails? VHT?

Vlasic

iTrader: (13)

First time I used testors tint spray, but didnt know it wasnt weather proof and didnt use any clear coat so it cracked off. Second time was with nite shades.

ilyaat

I was thinking of painting the main front corner lights black...now i wanna do it. Did you use same paint as for the turn signals?

egxflash

RX-7's comes with tinted tails too

Anyone else use anything else besides nightshade? Ive currently have my tails and signals tinted too but the white/clear area thats tinted looks like it has a hint of purple instead of a black tint.

Northern Maxima

Here are my DTM tails...the inside housing on the lower portion of the light is spray painted black and the orange/clear reflectors are removed.

that kinda looks retarded. corners are wayyyy to dark to match up with the headlights. only do that if u plan on retrofittin some hids and blackin out the headlight housings

007max

iTrader: (3)

those look nice, how did you do that thing with the third brake light?

chillin014

iTrader: (67)

cool man, appreciate the opinion, although i didnt ask for one. I dont plan on retrofitting projectors, if thats what you meant. and i dont plan on having those headlights too much longer either. I had some niteshade spray and i wanted to black out everything, so i did. the AE mod doesnt work too well with the 95/96 headlights because the lense is not completely clear.
i did what i could with what i had, nobody said i was trying to win a car show competition. plus, i really like it. i'd much rather have that than a clear lense, or have the housing blacked of the corner lights. trust me i experimented.
i will most likely be getting cefiros with the blacked housing soon, just fyi, i know how concerned you are.

Northern Maxima

Those will look sweet on your car! The Smoked Cefiros are definitely the best.

Novo48

iTrader: (1)

if i tint the headlights.. will the light stlil shine through? im betting that would pretty much deflect most of the lights.. right? if not is thta illegal?

euser985
