Blacked Out Tails:Yay or Nay?

Just bought these used but not sure if I wanna keep em. Keep in mind I don't have any plans on painting the red piece of the center panel black. I thought it would flow nice with the black panel and CF trunk but outside of having to paint the panel I'm not sure it looks good. Since this afternoon it's somewhat grown on me but I may just put my red/clear if not stockers back on. What do you think?

i dont think u should keep them.

u have the red tails,and the dull black tails next to them. In the middle you have a glossy back. The CF trunk is like a diff shade than the two other blacks. and then your bumper is a complete diff colour. So nay for me. Thats jus my opinion so dont be offended

I say nay. I think that they look too dark, but then again I never really liked tinted tails to begin with.

too dark - doesnt flow well with anything except maybe the SE panel (which means it wouldnt be a Scepter panel)

and it doesnt look good with your paint code either

I definately say nay! If not for the reason that it violates US enforced automobile lighting codes its also because it doesn't work, the whole thing seems off. I like the CF trunk though where did you get it?

I would say nay because its too dark and doesn't flow with your color. but thats just my opinion its your car and you can do what you want.

Thanks for the input guys. Thats all I needed to hear. I'll just set them aside for now and keep them in case I decide to tint the panel too.

Lenny, thats my 2nd Camry. It's a '95 DX but out of commission right now. It's runs but needs work and isn't on the road.

Do it. I'm def gonna black out the center panel. The tails will either be blacked out or a really dark smoke.

If you get to tinting the panel, then that would be good. But I want to know about the orange one. Lets see some pics of that.

I like how the flow with the theme of your car, but they just dont look right next to the untinted scepter panel, just my 2 cents.
