I tried it both ways.... tinted and body color.

I prefer the completely black...

You either hate it or love it...hehe

Car does look worlds better in person. These pictures are too one/two dimensional.... plus the quality of the pictures leaves alot to be desired as well. What you can't see is the continual flow of lines (curvature of the rear quarter panel all black is very clean) whereas the stock tailights kind of break the rear into sections and when you add the spoiler and splash gaurds, kinda looks tacked on and a little busy back there. I mean, I'm no designer or anything but that's what makes me different than the rest I guess. I like to be different

but hey, that's just my opinion.... heh

Sorry I can't say that I like the headlights or the tail light overlays. But to each his own.

your car would look perfect without the light covers...i thin they're they're messing up the lines of the car...but if you like em thats what counts.

Default Not feeling it.

Sorry, but I am not really feeling it. Particualrly the taillights. The long sloping point on the leading edge of the taillight is an important design feature of the car.

With the overlay in place the resulting lopsided trapezoid seems a little jarring to me.

Just my opinion of course.
