Smoked Tail Lights
I was wondering how you would be able to smoke 03 tail lights. I got the chrome tail lights from customaxima and was wondering what i would use to smoke them out. Post any pics you have of smoked tails or websites to order paint, how to's, anything. Thanks

BUT... the general concensus seems to be that the darker tails look better on darker maxes. The stock tails look great on your car. Maybe just paint the orange turn signal lens red?

Talk to Irish44J... he has smoked corners and I'm sure the process is similar...
And yeah, like what Aliti said, switch em out... I'm in the process of swapping tails with someone myself... or you can just buy em off eBay for around 50 bucks....

There are a few guys with smoked tails, but I can't remember who. I have the smoked corners like irish. I used Night Shades. IIRC the guys with the tails used the Night Shades tinting paint also...a couple light coats and then clear coat.

I smoked my tails too. The whole lense on the outside. I think it looks badass with Grey Lustre. I used Night Shades....still have plenty left over if you wanted to buy the rest.
bad pics...but you get the idea.

and that seller is stupid
"Extremely rare...." not really since its easy to do
'100% legal because when you flash your turn signals it will give you bright amber light"
according to the law, tail lights must REFLECT red

hey hamy.. how much would it cost if i would have you do my tails for me? :-)
I like it, but i'm afraid i'll mess something up if i paint it... rather have someone with experiance...
I live in Carlisle.... never saw ur maxima around the Harrisburg area....
I'm gettin' a 5th gen soon... hopefully...

I bought the black clear lens tails, I painted the top lens red with Testors candy apple red and smoked out the outside with 3 coats of Testors black tint, I think they look really nice.

yes that would definately be useful. that logitech cam won't sho quality very well, and unless you're gonna drive your car into the room where your computer is, i don't think the wire is long enough, unless you have a wireless, which i haven't seen before.
