Default Smoked tails for Redline?

Thinking of making all the lights on the back of my Redline smoked. Does anyone happen to have a pic that shows how this would look?

I've also thought about doing that but I love how the taillights match the look of the redline paint. IMO making them darker takes away from the smooth looks. It makes your eyes get stuck on the tails VS flowing with the car from end to end.

Hmm, you may have a point. The main reason i wanted to make them black is because i didn't want the clear rear turn signals on there. So i figured i'd make them black and match them with black tails. But i think i may just make them read instead. Would it be a good idea to make them fully red, or should i leave the reverse side clear?

I like the clean lines with the red more then the 30% =)~
If you made a red film for other lights then yes it would be nice. but it would have to match the red of the tail lights.
