Smoked tail lights

E92MKa · 01-05-2013, 03:37 PM

Where to get some quality cover or cut film for our tail lights? I want to see if anyone have some first hand experience. Seen lots of them online, but tough to tell quality

Smoked tail lights are ugly/tacky IMO. Instantly cheapen the look of any car.

wouldn't recommend it either, but check out Lamin-X if you must.

Even for the civic M3, tinted tails would look cheesy.

It isn't for my ///M, its for a friend's 335is...She seems set on it...

Explain to her that she is ASKING to be rear-ended. Ask her if she likes being rear-ended.....

+4. No way. Do the golf tee 335 exhaust mod instead.

Are you sure??

m_treezy · 01-05-2013, 11:16 PM

Looks legit

Sandye90m3 · 01-05-2013, 11:59 PM

I'm going to go against everyone here, but honestly. If the smoked tailights matches the theme of your car, then it will look good. For example, a blacked out car with a smoked taillights fits the trend.

But if you have a white M with brushed steel rims, and you throw on smoked taillights, that might look a bit off.

I'll post a pic of my e90 with smoked tails, and people are free to bash as much as they want

I smoked mine 6 months ago.... I lasted about 9 days and I ripped them off. Space gray looks good with tinted taillights too, except it just did NOT feel right. It's an M.... it just doesn't work.

Anyway, when I ripped them off my car I was in love with the LCI taillights all over again. It was like the day I first saw them.
