    Wink Slightly tining vs stato tail lights and garnish...

    Wanting to tint the tail lights and garnish on my stato but unsure of what it will look like. It a dark blue/green (depends who you ask lol).. And im wondering if anyone else has done it before and if it looked any good?.

    Oh and I dont want them as black as the ace of spades just a light tint to make them a little darker...

    Let the criticism begin hahahaha

    There is a guy thats gets around my area in a white vs statesman with a fully tinted rear garnish... it looks okay. but a statesman is meant to be admired for its clean lines and classy look.. not a street pig towing an invisible caravan... thats just what i think anyway.

    my car is the same colour as yours, my tail lights have a light tint, i've always had a thing for tinted lights. check out one of my photos, obviously not a statesman but should give u an idea on how it will blend in, which i think they do well!

    Clean them first with wax and grease remover too. I put gloss on mine back when i did them but its worn off now. Kinda dont mind cause it blends in better with the aged paint.

    You can get a tint film that has gloss finish and if you no longer like it, you can remove
    Be patient, I am inquisitive and I am learning.
