Holy crap!!

That is DARK!

No way is that legal where I live, good luck with the cops where you're located!

Looks good, not a big fan, but don't dislike it either :]

At least it looks good.

Smoked tails kill the look of the rear on our cars IMO. Overlays are the way to go. But w/e floats your boat.

looks like a half *** job. like others said, fix it up. make it gloss and it will look straight.

I made the same mistake when I did my tails with VHT the first time, they came out too dark.

It was easily corrected by taking a rag and pouring some paint thinner on it and just rubbing all the tint off, comes off really easy.

Not simply noting (as others have) that it doesn't look good, you're going to seriously regret tinting them (especially that dark) when someone rear ends your car, and you are found liable because the other person couldn't see you braking. At this point it's a safety issue, and you're either going to hurt yourself, or worse, someone else.

I like smoked lights but that's a little too dark. And should of left the reverse lights untinted. You need a spoiler and debadge badly (leaving mt fuji black) the rear looks like a bald white guy wearing dark sunglasses.

Re-do it with blue-bat's overlays. I think you will be much happier. Unless you like the 'matte' look to your tail lights. You're call!
