ok dude, i did mine...tinted, and DARK, i mean they are a nice deep deep dark cherry color. i had the hardest time getting my hands on the tint stuff. the guys at phat customz wanted $35 for a little 7 ounce can that was 12 bucks online plus shipping (came to about the same price). i was able to talk tthe guy there into letting me use the last of a can they had used to some guys tails who worked there and he gave me the warning before he handed me the can...about APD getting **** this fall and cracking down on ANY kind of tail light covers/guards/paint/tint. So i took it anyway and chose to take the risk. got pulled over about 2 1/2 weeks ago for speeding (13 over and i didn't even realize it until i passed the guy) he didn't say anything. the only thing he commented on was not being able to see inside the back windows which are basically more mirrored than the mirrors in my bathroom (5% tint on top of the stock privacy - I LOVE IT!) he said nothing about my tails. i also have no front liscense plate and he didn't say anything about that, or my blue turn signals....i'm sure you could get away with it
on the negative side of things, i was comin back from alyeska last weekend when it was a blizzard on the road and visibility was about 200 feet in front of you, and we pulled over at the tesoro (where the the exit is for the alyeska highway from the seward highway) and he said he could barely see my turn signal because it looked like my brake light. i painted the yellow to an exact match of the red on the brake lights...keep in mind this was when you could barely see anyway.....
as for what i think of yours, i like them, i think they look good. my opinion, insurance company would be the only thing i would think about if i kept them like that (obviously i have thought about it, and it hasn't changed my mind...lol)
we should hook up sometime, along with everyone else from ak
