Ken (NCP31) had his TYC taillights blacked out on his BSP xB. The body shop next to Michael's Mufflers in San Jose did it. It came out very, very nice.

i was thinking of putting a smoked overlay over my spare set of tyc tailights, they have a few tiny scratches and i was thinking the overlay would cover em up. they arent noticable anyway unless you know they are there

Correct me if I'm wrong,but why spend 200 bucks for TYC's only to cover them up with dark tint. If I get TYC's I'm going to leave them the way they are isn't that the reason for getting them. My 2 cents!

.... becuase the TYC's are exactly the best looking things. They're a start, but only that.

It just seems like a major waste to tint cool looking tails like TYC's. Tinted is tinted, tint the stockers and sell the TYC's to someone that can use them as is!

i think a light tint on them would look nice, im probly going to do it to my spare set of tyc's i have sitting in my garage. so i can swap them out when i want tinted ones

Instead of TYC's I'm getting some JDM tails and leaving them as is.
