2015 Tinted tailights?

[bkpatel]

Has anyone tinted a 2015 sedans tailights yet? If any of you photoshop wizards can photoshop a light smoke on a Casablanca White Genesis I would really really appreciate it.

no one has done it that I am aware of. the lights already have a darker hue to them so im not sure what tinting them would accomplish.

Well my car is similar to yours and I am going for that white and black look. I wanted to get a light smoke for more of an accented touch you know? I plan on doing a chrome delete and getting all of the brushed metal wrapped a metallic black. I also am getting custom headlights that are going to be completely black but with a clear lens and a true daytime led.

to each his own I suppose. i am sure a local vinyl or graphics shop can handle it for you.

Just like lowering and putting cut outs on a luxury sedan. To each his own.

which is why i said it.

on a side note, what type of car is acceptable to modify?

Haven't seen them on a Gen 2 but did the headlights and reverse section of the tailights on my 2010 a month or so ago. Used Oracal Orafol 8300 Light Grey and think it turned out perfect. Matches the lips of my wheels at the right angle. The Middle Grey was waaaaay to dark.





With headlights on. I know people will hate the fact that I run 3000k but to each his own.

It's not about what car is acceptable. Its about accepting that other people mod in different ways.

I agree with that. That is why truckers use 4300K HID's and yellow tinted glasses at night. Visibility is insane!

@xiaphin

I would not do my headlights due to them being practically black with the housing and all, but those tail lights turned out beautiful man. Love the car too haha

With the headlight housing being black the lighter grey might make them too dark. Glad you like the taillights, I'm happy with how they turned out and haven't seen anyone only do the top reverse section.
