Blacked out/tinted tails and side markers, FTP

I'm thinking about blacking out everything on my FC but, before i do i wanted to see a few FCs that have also blacked out/tinted their stuff. If anyone has any pictures i'd like to see them.... oh and if any of you are photochop masters feel free to photoshop the tint/black out done to my car. Here are a few pictures... Also, please give me some input if you think it would look good.








thanks guys.

I don't think it would look good, the car would be too offset. More rounded cars with flowing lights look good with black out things.

I think you should polish up what you have and get a nicer set of wheels. I feel like those s4 sawblades kill the look of the car! (I know it's an s4 under that nice paint

I think some wheels will change the look of the car and change your mind. You could at least get some S5 Turbo/GTUs wheels. Mustang wheels would probably look nice too(And be cheap).

yea black cars blacked out would look alot better because it all blends together..black wheels on the other hand would look great on a white car though..think she was alredy looking into rims in future along with rebuild by previous threads.

Only thing on my car that's tinted are my windows, but I drive with them down anyway :/

I think it would look pretty good especially on an S4 or something

I've considered doing this and I decided not to, I don't think it will look good unless you get black wheels. On S4s it looks great because it matches the moldings. Look at errickseven(sp?)'s car, its sick.

I like everything blacked out except the tails. Only reason for this is that the FC tails cover a big area and it's a bit too much contrast. But I think with them just lightly smoked to get them a little bit darker without blacking them out would look great. Just my $.02CAN
