Default b5 black taillights

i tinted them myself about 3 weeks ago. 15-20 coats of tint, about 10 clear coats. DOT and other lettering has been sanded off, tails were also wet-sanded before tinting. i also did the dual rear fog conversion. $100 +shipping

car was filthy, my apologies..


reflectors still work..

actually i don't. they are a little bit darker than stock, but not much, that's why i did the foglight conversion.

for sure, i wouldn't recommend these to people in cali, ny, nj, or any other state where the cops know their ****. but if you live out in timbucktoo, you'll be alright. or if you don't give a f*$k (i thought i didn't give a f*$k until i got pulled over, then i gave that f*$k up with a quickness)

yea, those are COMPLETELY different from mine. any aftermarket taillight is illegal, as well as any modification to stock taillights. still 100 bucks plus shipping. these tails are BLACK, you can't buy tails like this anywhere (otherwise i would have). they are beyond smoked. (but the reflectors and lights still function fine). those altezzas are hideous.

you need to wet sand, or get them smooth with 3m. i did this to my evo but used 3m fine grit rubbing compound and then zymol fine grit wax over that... they look like the rest of the paint on the car. they will look nice with them smoothed.
