hmmm..thanks guys. i looked alright on my black car,but i think i'll just paint my pre98 tl:shrug:
 
The car looks great, but to me, it would look even better with a tinted reflector instead of painted. But that's why we all mod to our own tastes. :)

tinted looks ugly, primarily because it doesnt look natural, it gives a fake kind of look, every one I have seen looks dull, like a paint job that isnt clear-coated. I would rather leave it stock then tint.

If it's tinted RIGHT, then it looks good. Throw some Niteshades and no clear coat = :nonono:

I love my tinted tails.

I know it isn't silver but I am split on what looks better. My SVT did have a painted reflector and it didn't look bad at all but I much prefer the reflector. Now if the tails where lightly tinted with the painted reflector that would have looked even better. Although a tinted reflector would look great also ...

I think it looks horrible. To me a painted reflector on any color Contique looks ugly. But that's just my $.02

Dont like it painted, silver looks good with the chrome strip painted black.

although, greasy had his tails and reflector blacked the Efffff out and I thought it looked good.
