Red car: All red vs. Smoked tails?

[Matto]

all red then smoked look friggin sexy. keeps it more solid looking than regular smoked where you can still see the amber.

Do smoked. I think it would look good, contrasting the red and black with the body trim.

After seeing those back to back pics, I am going to have to say go with smoked.

Smoked looks better, and I'd like to keep amber lighting to ensure safety. Amber shines through the smoke yellow still.

Whatever, going to have to pick up a spare pair of tails. And have free time / good weather. But yeah, tint owns on a red car.

My car is the same red as yours, and first I smoked them. I didn't like the look at all, so I took it off with goof off and resprayed them all red and they look much better. When I first got my car, I was going to tint it right away, but the no tint look has really grown on me.

Here, I'm ripping Robby's pictures from his HPDE picture set:



All red on a red car. Actually looks alright with the black spoiler on.....enough black to constrast it right.

On Stu's car he was in an accident, and the tails were smashed = new smoked tails. The trunk had not been repaired yet.

Mine's not back yet. :( This week. :P

i personally like the stock look on a red car

[Clay'87IS]

I have an all black pair that I used for several months before I got the smoked ones I now have....


Here are the black ones...



I personally still like them, they go with the whole black and white scheme...

Ted's lightly tinted tails. I think these would look real good with euro plate filler, black spoiler.

Bah @ the black spoiler comment. My car is all red and it's staying that way.
