This is for a 350Z. I want to completely black it out. Tails, turn signals, rims, tint...EVERYTHING. The only thing that I don't want to touch is the headlights.

Problem with the look that I want is that either you completely black the tails out, or dont touch them at all. Maybe I should look into buying an extra set of tails and tinting them and installing them to see how long it takes to get pulled over.

I’ve been pulled over 6 or 7 times – never for tails, and they were never mentioned - LEDs are very bright and illuminate thought the overlays and paint - I don’t think there is a violation as long as the brakes, turn signals are visible when activated. I used to run bats and now painted (see pics)… I’m not sure what you mean by “blacked out” – as these are just smoked ~

Current, painted:

I've been pulled over multiple times in LA, Long Beach, Inglewood and Hollywood. Most for window tint. I have the overlays on my headlights and tail lights. Not one cop has said a word about it.

Nice...always liked how the GTR overlays (or paint) looked on DG. Wish I could say the same for OB though or I would've picked some up too...just doesn't pop as much imo.

yes but only by the same cop that pulled me over going 50 in a 45 -___- and generously let me off with a tail lamp ticket instead (and front plate and window tint -_-)
