I'm tinting mine in a few hours, what do you think would look best:

1) Tint everything, (both sides, center panel) dark.2) Tint both sides dark, leave center panel.3) Tint everything, semi dark.4) Tint both sides semi dark, leave center panel.

I'm thinking about everything as dark as it'll go?

Do it all the same.

Someone with a red 240 just did theirs. Can't find the thread, but it looks kickass.

I'm not a big fan of tinting something that would help keep someone from ramming me in the ***. Not to mention if someone does rear end you, there is a possibility they can try to use it against you. As an Insurance adjuster, I would...

Well boys, do i ever have a surprise for you. Too bad i don't have a digital camera.

I tinted the whole tail lights as dark as she'd go, but i left the two reverse lights in the center panel.

BAD AZZZZZZZZZ!

Can you guys tell me what people do on S14 tails where they have the body color over the center section except for the reverse lights and leave the tail lights on the side stock (the part not attached to the trunk)?I like that look. At first I though they actually replaced the center section with some kinda metal filler panel, but seeing charlie's car, I think its just painted over (you can still see the bumps in the center section)

What kinda paint did you guys use??And blink, we want pics!
