well kinda ... actually just smoked the clear markers in the back, which definitely set the car off right. I got bored with seeing the same smoked tail light with clear reverse/signal lights so I did it my way. Used two layers of 3M head/tail light tint and custom made my own template to make sure the pieces were cut the right size. I love the contrast between the red and white and it is gonna look mean as hell when the matte black 20 inch giovannas come in later this week

after

 

Wow they definitely look nice. Now de-badge, black out the chrome above the rear plate and get a nice black roof overlay.

 

it's like you are reading my mind haha

 

I've just got style that's all. Also, add a spoiler.

 

ok I will stop you there haha I'm not a fan of the spoiler

 

Looks good.

Yeah, you need to put your spoiler.

You did a good job with the film. Most guys prefer painting. I would like something like that. So that I can take it off when I get tired of that smoke look.

 

Nice. I did the opposite, i got them painted by my friends tint shop. went with a really light just on the red to keep that oem look, but still have it go nice with the Super Black paint. this is also before and after the Eibach drop, now that i noticed.

 

looks great! yeah I just wanted something a little different, and I had my aftermarket lights on my denali sprayed which look great but this was simple and ended up working great ... and I definitely have to look into those eibach springs the car sits perfect

 

actually looks pretty good

 

EXTREME!! lol

 

smoked tail lights look great! is there a specific % tint you got? How much did it cost?

 

The tint is just the normal dark % 3M, but it wasn't dark enough when I applied it so it's actually 2 layers on each light, but the fit is seamless. As far as cost, I got the tint from a local shop and the guy cut me plenty material from the roll for about $15 and I did the work myself and it took about an hour.

 

Looks good you did a great job cutting it to.

 

Haha you like that idea of blacking out the piece over the license plate.

 

nice.. have you consider tinting your headlight?

 

I bought enough material fully do the tails and headlights, which it's legal out here in vegas, but when I go back to school in San Diego next week I will definitely get pulled over due to cali's retarded laws so I had to pass up that mod and not risk the ticket

 

@KMoney: I'm probably not gonna do the headlights man, I don't really dig the look and cops out here in California are fast to pull you over for any minor reason, I'm on my second tint ticket in my 7th Gen!

 

Im Pretty happy with my tails.

 

nice lights

 

I would rather use tint than painting them. That way its less permanant.

 

... i unfortunately deleted my pics off image shack... i have not got around to executing it tho but im glad there are people out there who understand the beauty of thinking differently... it looks great and i wish i would have went through with it when it dawned on me....

 

haha that's so funny, I hadn't seen it done or heard about anyone having the same idea, but I definitely think it's a hot look! Just wait till the matte black 20s get put on to contrast it, they are sitting in my garage and I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day!!!!

 

I love the smoke taillights

 

im still intesested in maybe finding a LED solution for the whole white area.. im gonna contact the guys at http://www.cincitydesigns.com/.. see if they have any brilliant ideas

 

do you stay in the bay area bro? im getting my maxima's chrome painted next week. the guy is in san carlos.

 

I like the look of the original poster but I prefer the styling of yours better, please refresh to me how you did this.

Somebody painted it or is this tint film embedded???

 

YEAH IM IN HAYWARD. IM LOOKING TO DO A MOD TO MY GRILLE IM TESTING IT RIGHT NOW IN PHOTOSHOP AND IM ALSO LOOKING AT OPTIONS FOR DOING MY TAILIGHTS

 

Is the tail light tint different than regular window tint?

 

i believe so, in my case yes. Its more like an overlay, it streches more unlike regular tint when putting it on the tailights

 

I believe 3M makes different color overlays that work with most head and tail lights as well. I've always been a fan of smoked looking lenses, especially when the color red in tails is changed closer to a burgundy color. Looks great OP.

 

Painted or Film???? Can't make up my mind!

 

Does anyone have a pic of the whole tail light covered. Im ,not sure if i wanna cover the whole thing, or leave the white. decisions decision. I just bought 2010 Maxima Sport package.

 

it depends on the application, mine was easier to use the film, if you wanted to do the red black and leave the clear I would go with spray

 

Thanks. I think that is what I am leaning towards.

 

how did you make your tail lights that way? smoke tint? if tint what percentage?
it looks hot as ****.!!!!!!!!!

 

here is what mine look like

 

sorry blurry, taken from phone, but you can see the tailights are definitely visible

 

i love how the tail lights look at night so i was afraid to smoke the tail lights but turns out they look as if their not tinted at all =)

 

Looks perfect, I am trying to do the same exact thing...

Where can i buy the film from?

thanks

 

If I had a blk Max I would do the same exact thing, Very Nice...
