Ruff Rider · 03-12-2008, 07:18 PM

My opinion.......no.

Blacklines look great just the way they are.

xpillzboyx · 03-13-2008, 12:11 AM

Amir87 · 03-13-2008, 12:37 AM

mtkid · 03-13-2008, 12:40 AM

haha, i used photoshop...yup and it's clear I don't use the tools that come with it. hahahha. better off if i used paint.

ksfrogman · 03-13-2008, 01:14 AM

I actually bought the smoked overlays and didn't like them. It made it too dark. I then cut them in half and installed them on the top only; still didn't like them.

shragon · 03-13-2008, 12:00 PM

my vote is no. i've never been a fan of the oreo tail light look.

remmib · 03-13-2008, 02:46 PM

Not do it as dark as the PS, lighter might look good.

karliejai · 03-13-2008, 03:55 PM

it's on jackson's (misterng) 330i.

the smoke job is really light and subtle. looks great though!

e90AW335i · 03-13-2008, 08:36 PM

It would look ok only if it was a LIGHT tint. Anything really dark will look tacky....
