Dark looks great, except I had problems with the law.

Fast I'm thinking of doing 6/10 on my tails. Do you have a quick of what your tails look like? I don't want to go too dark on my 06 Smoke.

In addition to this, do you guys think it's worth it to tint the brake light on my 07 wing? It may go well with the tinted tails I suppose but the thing is if it's even worth it.

I took my car to a tint shop and they were morons. Pre made tint and they still screwed it up. I went and bought some spray tint and some gloss clear to go over it. Havent done it yet because its been cold.

same here. on my previous car, I had them tinted and the popos in PA stated that its illegal because of the brightness of the red when your braking.. which is total BS..
They were probably bored after their donut break

If you wet sand between coats theres no need for clear and comes out nice and shinny.

I have an 03, but I went on ebay messing around and picked up a set of precut tint's for it. I saw some for you 6th genners also. Just look up tinted tails or something like that under maxima. They came in 35% and 20%. I got 35% cause I don't need to look like a "Bad Boy". I'm wondering if the 6/10 is around 35%. Anyone know?
