Looks sharp, doing mine as soon as I get out of work. Did the brakelight mod last night (thanks to NoBull's instructions). I've got the mindset that anyone who does the tailight tint should do the rear fog mod, takes about 5 minutes and cost me all of 57 cents (would've cost 48, but the first crimper crapped out on me).

Tint looks nice. Personally, I'm partial to the white taillights, but that is just my opinion. I don't have them but am thinking of getting them. I think the white will look nicer on my EB/W MCS.

EliteCooperS-
That looks good, how much did you spend? That picture that has all three lights on (turn signals) did you just get the picture when it blinked?

I have to find out the name of the sray for you, but most places charge anywhere from 15 to 25 dollars.

How about doing a picture from the rear of the car with the brake lights on, taken on a sunny afternoon, with the sun behind you (like at about 5pm)?

So far, every pic I've seen of these tinted lights have been during evening or night hours.
