I say don't tint the tails, and from that pic it looks like your rear side window has tint but your rear windshield has none?

I say you should red out the blinker part rather then smoking the lights.

That way you have more red flowing with the car.
If you need some Red Tail light tint let me know.

Thats what I did with my xB. I didn't like the all clear tail lights so I Reded out the blinker and reflector section of my tail lights to give it a diff look.

I bought a hugh sheet for my xB and didn't use it all so I can sell the rest at a pretty good price.

all red:

all black:

tint w/o reverse:

IMO, it all depends on what other color scheme you have on your car.... but i think the all black looks nice...
