I was thinking of either smoking them or attempting a colormatch type deal like so

smoke or leave them stock(preferred choice)
I think the whole colormatch thing looks kinda cheesy

I'm not a fan of smoking lights or colormatching. My opinion... keep em stock.

If it was between the two I'd smoke them. For me I'd just leave them stock.

that will get you pulled over hella fast. they do it in UK though, colored candy over the tails if you want to try it.
taillight mods + 4 lug 15s and stock exhaust = RICE^2

thanks for the opinion there bucko. wasn't aware I needed an exhaust, 5 lug conv or rims to do a $10 type mod while I'm waiting on my radiator to be fixed. Thanks though, without you, I might of gotten lost in like the sahara or something

If you MUST modify them, or can't afford Kouki tails (if you even like them), smoke them... Anything more would be in bad taste and REALLY cheesy.

years ago(around 2001 sometime) i tinted my taillamps with red acrylic glass paint. came out pretty good. later on i redid them because the finish faded (at the time i failed to put a protective clearcoat into the gameplan). i used VHT niteshades to smoke the tails. that came out pretty good as well. i initially did it because one of the taillamps was stained and it presented a good opportunity to hide the blemish(other than sourcing another taillamp anyway). i wouldn't suggest the colormatching purely to save yourself the hassle of asshole cops(and assholes on this forum,even though it's too late:rofl: )

ty for all the feedback. I just like playign with photoshop to be honest and was like oh crap, wonder what it'd look like, ya know. The guy selling the smoked lamps is what got me thinking, cuz i think they look sexy as hell on his car.

Fine fine,
4x4 ride height, 4 lug S14, super sunken pizza cutter wheels+purple taillights=rice

keep it stock because smoke w/ purple doesn't quote look right plus the rear end is stock so it will match nicely.

stock or kouki tails... our cars look good as it is. most non-subtle exterior changes just degrade the lines/overall flow that the designers intended...

rofl, you think shock/spring combo and "bsa rims" changes the situation?

Just don't do it. Either get Kouki tails, or leave them alone.
