I used tint shade and did only three coats...as it dries it get darker. I removed the tail lights and masked off the areas i didn't want black and it turned out pretty well. Looks good and is a cheap mod to make the car look great!

I kind of like the red of the taillights against the white, so if you do tint, I say don't go too dark. I made that mistake and removed it right after I did it haha.
As for the wheels not sure if it's worth it. I'd say wait to get new ones or leave them as is.
PS: I would go with tinting film because it will keep the gloss/shine/luster to the lamps and looks more high-end. Night Shades from what I've seen can make it look too matte and too flat unless you buff the surface big time afterwards...

So ive decided that ill go ahead and tint the lights for right now and most likely just buy some new wheels or end up leaving them stock. Thank your for all your guys input
Im going to use tint for the glossy finish and so i can remove it if i ever need to
