Hey I want some opinion on whether or not I should tint my 3rd brake light or not. It's not like I really need my 3rd brake light anyways, haha.

I can either leave my 3rd brake light white to match the white on my taillights, OR I can tint it to match the tinted part of my taillights. What do you guys think?

Here's what it looks like now!

Tint it. While I'm there, I'll do your interior pieces. Soonest I can do it is next Wednesday. I have to go with my friend on Friday to ask a guy that painted his car why he ripped him off and only did half the work.....not looking forward to that.

Is that a full TBL or no? I can't really tell from the pic. If it is not, why not kill 2 birds with one light... go for the Oznium dark smoked TBL.

If it already is a full TBL, smoke it.

if you want it to match, tint the top half and leave the bottom half alone.

pretty sure it wont look right but...
im at work right now so im not thinking clearly.

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, and def have Kennon do it... you'll be glad you did.

If it's not a full TBL, tint the part that doesn't light up and leave the middle as is.

tint!

NYNCTC · 04-23-2009, 05:46 PM

HECKZ42 · 04-23-2009, 05:49 PM

tint it, its going to look way better

luuserface · 04-23-2009, 06:23 PM

I don't know, I think tinting the part that doesn't light up and leaving that little rectangle that lights up white looks a little funky!

I just feel like tinting something cuz I have no money right now but lots of Vht!

i think you should tint it. it would make the back in flow a lil better.

did you get ur springs in yet?

luuserface · 04-23-2009, 10:11 PM

^NO! I got them from my cousin like 2 weeks after you sold them to him. It's been in my car for a week. I hopefully will get them in this weekend!

I thought of that when I was at work today. It would match the tail light theme.

luuserface · 04-24-2009, 07:13 AM

So something like this?

Thanks to my awesome photoshop skills.

I dont know, I kinda like what Ken had (where the unlighted part of the TBL was panted to match the car color).

Blue_Batmobile · 04-25-2009, 05:42 AM

You got my #, want me to color match the sides, you tint the center and I'll clear, buff and install it?
