| | | Re: New Wheels car does look sweet, nicely done. i really like the blacked out lights, i'm thinking of doing that myself. was wondering, does the tinting on the reverse lights really reduce their light output a lot? i've got a new euro style rear bezel that i'm going to install, was thinking about doing nightshades on the 3rd brake light and just the red lenses and leaving the clear reverse lights alone, but I'm not sure if that would look goofy. But i don't want to tint the reverse lights if it greatly reduces their light output. |

| | | Re: New Wheels nice blackout job, workin on the same myself with the black oem grill and smoked sides. Did you have your fogs/drl and reverse, 3rd brake tinted somewhere or did you buy kits for them. I just got vinyl for the fogs/drl but havent put it on yet. |
