    Yes, I know this has been a topic on this form a few times now. But I need some opinions on "how" I should smoke my taillights or if I even should.

    1. Leave them stock.

    2. Only smoke the upper off of the taillight so if you can't see the back up light and signal light.

    3. Smoke the whole thing and hope the cops don't stop me.

    What do you guys think? If this helps I drive a 02 midnight black pearl wrx.

    I say smoke the whole thing so the tint is as dark as Volkswagen Jetta taillights. You won't be too dark, yet it'll look great.

    I saw the pics with the tint. Yes, it does look cool but I don't have to run into the issue of cops stoping me for it. Thats why I'm thinking about maybe only tinting half.

    I take number 1. Leave them stock for a sleeper look, but work on the engine performance.

    I can't really play the sleeper thing anymore. Once you see my exhaust... it blows the cover off.

    I thought about doing that as well. But then I would have to modify the bumper to make it fit.

    well Kong's 02 WRX doesn't mod the bumper but his stick up a little. It's nothing BAD when looked at. You can simply just cut a little off, that's it.

    Do a couple coats of nightshades just enough to make them look slightly tinted. It will help a lot.
