I prefer no tint. I just dont think tinted tails look great at all....especially when too dark. Cheapens the car IMHO.

But thats just my opinion.

I can't believe I'm actually on the majority side of the poll. LOLOL..

No tint please. On very few cars I believe the owner managed to pull it off, but for the most part it looks like tacked on overkill.

I'm not a big fan of taillight tint, especially on a black car.

If anything I would personally do a very light tint.

I tend to like the tinted look if done right.
I've also seen sedan guys black out the top part of the taillights
so it gives it a sleeker low profile look.
I think it works well on the black sedans.

Tinted tails have to be done juuuuuuuuuust right for it to look good, and I'd say no less than 95% of the ones I see don't fall into that category.

And tinting them with a film like window tint will never achieve the right look.

See i like that. I love when my car is clea, the paint is jet black and the taillights are contrasting sharply and clean. I think it looks great.

Tint on OB just looks like dirty/foggy taillights
