Front looks nice, but I'd do opposite of what you did for the tail, leaving the parking light clear and smoke the red part.

I would like to know as well too please :) I'm planning to black out my tails in the near future as well, assuming it's easy enough that is.

Yeah, post up a DIY. Looks good. How is it backing up at night? I notice you've got a good tint going, plus you blacked-out the reverse lights. Let me know.

you can use spray tint and be done in about 20 minutes

its called DHT nightshades
you remove the rear lights
tape off the area you DONT want affected
clean them with rubbing alcohol and spray

DONE

Meh, I guess the front looks okay, but I don't care for the back. I like the shiny look. Just my two cents

I agree. I like the front but the back would look better (IMO) if you either smoked the whole piece or just the red area and left the clear part alone.

Nice job though!
