no blue, no green, no shades of dark red, etc. You'd never pass a visual inspection.




Also, there needs to be some sort of RED reflective surface on the rear of your car. note the "Red". This is how Lexus gets away with the crystal tails found on the RX SUV.
actually, saabs, mercedes, VWs, and even the honda element have red/smoked tails.

I haven't tinted my tail lights but mine are all red and I've never had a problem. My car is also loud and if someone doesn't see me backing out then they are REALLY not paying attention. The reverse light is a bit brighter too.

^^^If I saw that in a parking lot, I wouldn't think you we're backing out.

I have an 03 accord coupe, tinted the taillights with vinyl overlays and love the look. It is NOT legal unless there is a red reflective surface visible from a profile in the rear, as well as directly behind.
Check out www.stickercity.com for tallight smoking on a number of different cars.

what i dont understand is why people only tint the white part. it looks dumb. tint the whole thing if you're going to tint the taillights, or don't tint them at all. just my $0.02

Dis comin from da man wit da name accord2fast

/end HORRIBLE grammar.

EDIT: Also, you never gave him an "opinion on his ride". You went on about how people try to modify "4 banger Grocery getter sedans". And trust me there are PLENTY of 4 doors that are fast as fuck and look really good.
