Default tinted the taillights

decided to tint the taillights a few days ago. i went with vinyl covers because i was afraid to use nightshade and didnt have the money to have it done professionally. it was a giant pain and it was almost not work the 4 hours of profanity but in the end it looks pretty good. a few creases here and there but all in all pretty ok. hows it look to you guys and any other suggestions on exterior mods? and please dont flame the stupid sticker

Please excuse the blatant cussing, but why the **** is there an illest sticker on your car? It has the stock rims...and its an impala. Wow. I won't even get into what's wrong with that.

Obviously you don't know what that means.

I don't see what would posses someone to put that on a stockish impala. Car isn't lowered...wheels don't have an aggressive offset...tires aren't stretched.

I don't know what is more ricer, the hellaflush movement itself, or putting that on a stockish impala.

Well at least you know what it is. In all truth I just liked the sticker and thought it would look interesting. I don't even really like hellaflush cars all that much being a person that prefers function to form. I just didn't think anyone would go that crazy. If you really want something to critisize I'll take a pic of the Monte down the block with spinners, a rediculous bass box and my personal favorite the pepboys stick on hoodscoop.

And thanks to everyone else. It takes alot of hairdrying and streaching to get it even close to straight

The tails look good, I would like to see some with the running lights and brakes on. Just to see how they look, maybe some night shots too.

And now for my FLAME:

You have to atleast put the damn "illest" sticker on straight!! If you're going to do something stupid like that at least don't do it half-assed!

Also, if you knew people were going to flame you, next time you host something on Photobucket, take the time and use one of the tools to get rid of the damn thing! You could have blurred it and said it was a dealer tag that you haven't had removed yet!
