    I love tinted tails on cars if they are done right. It'll look good on your BP as well, I had a white Tacoma before my prius with tinted tails and it looked great! Is it getting painted or vinyl wrapped?

    Im debating though...

    Vinyl costs about 6 times less than getting them painted...

    I think it's better off to get them wrapped. If you get pulled over, you can easily pull the vinyl off. Not much you can do after they've been painted.

    As the guy who wants to see your taillights when you're ahead of me, I'd prefer that you leave them untinted.

    How can you expect a tint job not to reduce the visibility of your taillights?

    I have a VHT nightshades spray tint (only one or two coats) on my Yaris, and I can assure you, when the brake lights are lit, they are very noticeable. There is very minor, if any reduction in visibility.
