Hey Robert,

How about getting some 3/10's now instead of your darker 6/10's? I highly doubt any cop would give you trouble for the lighter 3/10's.

The cop did you a favor, it looks 100x better without overlays. Never understood why people put those things on anyway, so ugly and tasteless.

I've had painted tail lights for about 3 months "knock on wood" still haven't been harrassed yet for them. And my commute around LA, OC, and sometimes SD are usually cop infested areas too..

I kinda liked the overlays because it matched the windows. Now the red on the taillights is screaming at you because the rest of the car is subtle-colored. Another option might be to do a "cut out" tint for the rear that leaves the lighted section exposed fully - no tickets, and no WOW that's red taillights

+1 on losing the kenstyle rear. We don't drive Hondas. Great if some like it, but it is ricey.
