Hey man, I like your tailights. I got a Protege 5, and me and my buddies took off the tail lights and smoked them as well. Instead of doing the entire light, we taped off the silver circles in he back for the reverse and blinker lights. It looks pretty hot, two big a** silver circles and the rest of the tailights are blacked out.

Hey, you have a nice ride, and you did a great job tinting, but I would have kept things clear or gunmetal. I think your car is too light, and it will stand out too much. But, if you like man, more power to ya. I did not mean to diss you at all. Peace!

no diss taken turbonium959. Your just stating your opinion and I appreciate the feedback. Thanx to everyone jumping in. I'm just trying to hook my ride and give others some ideas the same way people gave me ideas. We'll see how it turns out in a couple of weeks. Will also post pics of the other work being done.
Peace out my fellow cubscouts!
