S5 Tails Question...
For those of you with S5s....if you had the option of having your tails either tinted....or having them baked to look clear...what would you do...I want forum input.

I don't have S5 tails (or an FC for that matter), but if I did, I would want them to be baked, and then there would be cake.

Cake would be nice....lol

Reason I ask is because I bought my vert and the tails are slightly darker than usual. I, myself, have always been a clear look guy...but ATM..it seems I don't have much choice.

I could get it done in a couple of days--but it would really work best to just meet up with me, drop off the lights, and then we could meet back up a couple days after. Just let me know.
