absolutely... i actually think it might be more of an optical illusion that the middle is untinted. it probably appears that way BECAUSE it is illuminated. IF you look at the bottom reverse light, it DOES appear (slightly) tinted. I thiiink it's on **********s or something that you can order 3 different types of tint, depending on darkness. light, med, dark.

If you wanted to order, let's say a light or medium tint, and apply it and remove the center piece where the light is, that can be done.

Fu#!k, I got my smoked tail lights coming in, and I am very tempted to leave some red in their like that. I think its still clean and stylin. I have a montego but if i have red, black, and blue thats too much going on so ill leave them smoked. but that black is nice!!!

Or you can smoke the tail lights and leave the white strip towards the bottom. If someone could photo shop that would be cool. I might do that for the montego

Honestly I think you're all mistaken. My tails are fully tinted, yet when I fire the car up the tails look just like that, if not better. You don't want a partially tinted tail, you want the whole thing, the light will show through just as it does in these pics. Go to Bimmian.com for those tails, thats where I got mine.
