Before and After
So after installing my new J-Spec taillights, I found the the contrast on Black was a little to much for me. So I toned it down a bit by covering the clear reflecter to match the paint. And here is the result:
Before:
After:
New Eyelids (And black and cleared headlights):
New Stance (Tanabe gf210 springs):

Sorry... Not a fan at all. Also I would've suggested to smoke the taillights by BATS.

Car looks good, but i dont like those tail lights, i woulda loved to see some stock 06 tails on that. The headlight eyelids are ok, but imo smoked headlights would look sick on that car. But thats just my opinion.

Those tail lights are OK, IMO. Definately better with them partially blacked, full tint might be even better as suggested. I'm glad you posted though, I was considering the same, one of my stock tl covers is cracked. I think I'll stick with the stock LEDs though.
