you could probaly tint the inner piece pretty easy cause there aint no curves or nothing its just flat .

i have the clear tails now, i am getting them slightly dark, haven't decided anything for sure yet.

couldnt find anyone that does tints for the rears so i took the plunged and used VHT night shades for tails and reflectors... i have to say it came out pretty good... IMO of course!

can somebody answer my question, Is it against the law if you tint your reflector?

 

[bleedingsujit]

[kowloon]

Its illegal in Illinois (what the f' isnt)...But my cousin, whose a cop, says that its very petty and rarely enforced. What they do enforce with an iron fist are seatbelt violations...Their sarge always emphasize this at roll call.

good to know, I live in SC, and I've been searching at SCDMV rules and regulation, but I can't find the answer.
I really want to tint my reflector but I don't wanna pay the ticket, coz it's ridiculous IMO if I had to paid the ticket for tinted reflector... what does a reflector do anyway??
