Definitely went a little dark, that was only 2 coats. Since the time i've done it, about 3 cops have driven directly behind me and I wasn't pulled over. (knock on wood). I think its because of the brake light on the spoiler. But thanks for the compliments.

Why would you want your brake lights darker?

Some mods just don't make sense to me.

I don't care for that look at all. Smoked is ok, but pitch black doesn't look good IMO.

+1 for DIY


not a fan,but it's your car and if you like it, then it's all good..
at night, when your "parking" lights are on, does the light shine thru or only when the brakes are applied? and what about during the day as well?

Not feeling it, those things need to be wet sanded and buffed up to a shine.
Not sure about the exposed reverse light, seems a bit out of place, having that one little white spot.

I don't think it looks half bad. I like the dark look. Seems everyone else would hate mines too.
