im going to get them tinted. debating, should i tint just the red and leave the clear strip at the bottom, or tint the whole thing?

you mean tint them black? if i was going to do anything to the JDM tails, ill add amber to the white stripe at the bottom. that will look good IMO...

Assuming the car is black, the whole tint thing would work. Leaving the clear would also be acceptable you have chrome trims. You can also tint the clear and leave the rest red.

just regular ole window tint. it holds up for a while. i need to redo mine in the spring when it warms up.

so you just stick the tint film on the tails do you use any heat gun or anything like that?

i had to shrink the film with a heat gun to conform with the compound curves of the tail.
