I have mine smoked out with plastidip, looks awesome.

Especially at night the lighting is much dimmer.

I didn't want to tint it cause it didn't flow well.

Tinting them or smoked film won't allow me to change the color they light up..

Since they have a smooth finish, just get some window tint and save a lot of money.

You're all missing the point..

the aftermarket lamp allow me to run a different color bulb and CHANGE THE COLOR THAT IT LIGHTS UP..

Spray tint or smoked film will not do this!!

Got them in today. Great quality, quick shipping. Wish the smoked was a lil more smoked but these actually match the color of the car well! Very pleased overall

Looks clean! I like the BBS rims. Wish my plastic trim was that shiny! What'd you use?

They're actually painted by the previous owner. I need to redo them.. they are a lil shinier than I like.
