06 JDM tailights tint question?

For all those perfectionist out there... i was thinking about tinting my 06 JDM tails with the Bluebat GT-R overlay.. not to dark.. but just like the car i posted a pic of below.... but i wanted the forum members opinions before making a purchase... remember i have JDM tails.. with the amber/orange blinker in the corner... would it look/blend right or not?..Please let me know what you guys think..

Thank you.. I'm just trying to get opinions... here is what i have planned for my car in the spring.... i have matte Black oem 19's .. I am thinking about getting a Gloss black roof overlay.. Semi/Gloss black valance... tint the windows.. and the reason why i asked about the tails is because i have a carbon fiber trunk (MG v1) and wanted to know if the tinted tails would blend better than the full on red tails..

Get some regular tails... or add some green and you'll have yourself a stoplight.

I love how on my old car (honda civic) the tails actually HAD the amber lights in it and the "JDM Y0!" tails were red... it's completely stupid how people want something only because it's "jdm"...

This is true.. but when i look at them.. the red sticks out a bit too much to my liking.. i guess i have to add all the parts before i can get a good idea of how it looks..

It would be a shame to go out of your way to pick up JDM tails, just to cover them with an overlay.

Though, JDM tails or not, the overlays always looked cheap to me.

JDM+tint=fail

might as well use a regular set of 06+ and tint them

Use the film, you'll get sick of it soon

tinting the tails will only emphasize the ugly circular indentions the tail lights have. i dislike those.
