I'm going to say that I like it....although I'm biased since I've done the same thing except it's a little different.

Looks pretty good. I'm wondering what some thin black borders would look like...

That's exactly how I did mine. I also continued down to the bumper lights. I"ve never seen it done before. It must have never caught on because you usually see everything fly through the internet and this is the first picture I've seen or even mentioned it for that matter.

Thanks for the compliments guys! On the lower lights when the blinkers are on or the drls the light comes through and the tint looks yellowish and thats the reason why i went for the shape. There is no light that comes behind that spot and its sealed off from the lights. So even when lights are on the sides stay just as dark as they do now.

They look dark but the blinkers are easily seen even during the day. I did the tails a few months ago too and they are BLACK but ive never had trouble with the cops.

Yes this is the way I've seen it but you add that little curve and it makes quite a difference.:beer:

looks good, impersonally not a big fan of blacking out the bottom housing only but the more i look at it the better it looks. i really like the corner smoked. that nightshade crap isnt all that bad

Howd you get the arch on the headlights??!!...

probly just tapped it off. If you look at the headlight, there actually is a curve, where just the headlight is, then the side where he tinted it, is nothing, just plastic, not for light at all. I looked already. lol.
