Haha yeah they are. I can sand em down but its just a PITA.
no offense Mr 05scoobyRs but those dark tinted tails OUGHT to be illegal. I came really really REALLY close to rear-ending a VW GTI in traffic the other day, he had tinted tails so dark that I could not see his brake lights and turn signal in the bright sunlight until it was WAY too late. I locked up all 4, barely missed the guy and then he had the balls to flip me the bird afterward.
OK so maybe dark tails on a black car give a groovy look but those lights are red for a reason! I asked a policeman buddy what would happen if I had actually rear-ended the guy with black tails, he said "that kid would be totally screwed in court. Normally it's always the following car's fault if there's a problem but with those black taillights, the judge would probably throw the book at him even if he was making an otherwise legal stop or turn."
so there's some food for thought. do you like the tinted look so much you're willing to trade off real safety concerns not to mention legal responsibility?
name your choice-- red tails, or maybe having an F-250 violently installed into your trunk.
did I mention that this incident flat-spotted $700 worth of F-250 tires and I am still pissed.
