I was looking at a few pictures and decided to see what people thought about debadging and smoking the rear lights. Heres a picture as it is now:




Heres a picture just debadged:



And heres a picture debadged and smoked. I dont want a completely black taillight, but I wouldnt mind having it smoked a bit:

I think just the debadging looks good

debadge and remove the pinstripe, imo

I wasnt a huge fan of the smoked taillights either on the gen3, but I just wanted to see what it would look like. I'll do another photoshop later with it debaged and the pinstripes removed and see what it looks like. And should I keep the Toyota logo or get rid of that as well?

[bigbird]

id keep it, maby even paint it black.

I painted my Emblems the same color as the car 'dark emreld pearl' and i like it. I think a really light tint would look nice. I was thinking of wrapping my lights with some 35% tint just for a nice simple look.

Bad Photo but you can see the T:

Just a quick question, do you use window tint to darken the taillights or is there paint?

[midnightmach]

Both...

Both??? You can put window tint on camry light's? Damn, that's so simple. Why didn't I think of it.
Do you think I should get it done by a tint shop or can I do it myself?

[DAMON]

you should be able to do it yourself fairly easily...

i personally would recomend painting, less risk of damage when washing or drying. and u dont have to worry about air bubbles which would be almost impossible to avoid on the center pannel because of the "CAMRY"

[blackedcoupeLE]

both...

What kind of paint would you use to smoke the taillights? I've never ben a fan of the entire width being a light, so painting it did cross my mind, but I was thinking that it would look good at all.

^^^Buy Damons center panel!....Looks good with just the "T"....I'd remove the pin stripe too, hell I did it to mine...looks much better!

Im a big fan of smoking the tailights... Most def smoke the tails, debadge, and remove pinstripes Paint the emblem too, well depends on what type of rims i have.... If it has some sort of chome in it then maybe u could leave the emblem...
