I say tint just the red. But it all depends on what you are doing with the car in the long run....

I would've tinted the whole thing, which is part of my plan anyway. I'm going to get the front lights tinted, the white leds on the mirrors and the entire rear lights and I have a Radiant Silver too.

I can't wait to see your pics, I know it's gonna be off da hook.

Didn't you watch Mythbusters? They proved license plate covers don't work unless you drive and jet engine powered vehicle. Even the lambo going full throttle couldn't beat speed cameras.

lmaooo, true , but i wasnt refering to speed cameras, i was refering to the police because i know in nyc they give you tickets for them even if you have slightly smoked ones. As a matter of fact, nyc traffic gave me 2 tickets a couple months ago while i was parked in front of my house for having them on my car. The tickets were like 35 dollars each.

That's seems too be a trend here in Houston where the tails are basically blacked out. I've been behind of a F-150, Beemer, and a 350z and all the LED's were barely visible. I've wanted to do mine for the longest time but I didn't know how dark I would want it. I like the shade D-street has on his silver Max.
And as for the license plate cover, I would definitely get a ticket here in H-town for obscuring my tags like that.
