Default Tinted tails
HCI2000SS turned me on to this smoked tint film for our F body tailights. The specific brand I used was Lamnin-X. For 29.00 I think it is a nice upgrade. I was going to go with LT1 tails, but Hawks is over priced and nice used ones are hard to come by. Anyway just thought I would share.

The regular smoke ones. They are still drying but they look good. Same deal as window tint where you get a few bubbles that have to dry out.

Yep mine were the same way. Mine are the regular smoke as well. For the money I think they're pretty good. Did you do the rear side markers as well?

No, I already had replaced the rear side markers with ones that are a clear / black back ground that match the front bumper lights and headlights.

Ok that's where I got my clear fronts with black background (along with the depot/whistler headlights) but never saw the rear markers like that on there. It looks like you run that combo up front as well?

Looks good! I like the black on red look, and those black wheels you have just make it all the better
