Graphite Shadow W/Tinted Tails

Who has a graphite shadow with tinted tail lights? I am getting my windows tinted and they can do the tails but I saw a pic with one of them with it but did not care for it. Maybe it was just that one. So I would live to see some other cars in graphite shadow that have tinted tails?
Thanks!

I think most will tell you that on a car of this caliber, tinting the lights takes away from the look. If you want to do anything to darken your lights, painting is your best bet. Much cleaner and classier.

The "Search button" will be your best option in most situations like this.

Thanks for the links. I'm not a noob at forums but my searches were not getting many results in that color.

The place I'm looking at is Umbra in Schaumburg. They are doing my windows June 16 and I need to decide if they are going to do my tails too. Illinois law says it's ok as long as you can see the lights 50 feet away.

A local guy, InitialC i think is his name on here actaully has it and maybe he can get you some pics... His might not be the graphite shadow though but the other silver... I am trying to find pics, I may have them somewhere in an e-mail but might want to PM him.

depends on the tint level you go but it can definitely look very clean... Other option would be tails like mine done by a shop in Chicago that could basically get you any look you are going for with your tails or your headlights... let me know if you want their info.

Umbra is great though for tints! You'll have fun talking with Dino!

If you don't mind me asking, how much are they charging for tints?

Why dont you smoke the taillights instead of tinting them? Would look a lot nicer. Is Umbra in Schaumburg using 3M? There's another place in Chicago that uses Viper, but they don't smoke tails.
