    Personally I would just lightly tint the clear part

    I like tinted tails just as much as the next guy, but no matter what paint you use be it transparent or opaque, its still hinders the light output no matter what. So technically safety is still compromised on some certain level...

    Tinted taillights look like...well...they provide a ghetto look to a otherwise nice car.

    Def no denying they hinder the light ouput some what, as I noticed a restored brightness whem I removed my tint. Had no choice it was chipping off near the edge, and worsening when I washed the car. Now I'm back to stock, and actually liking it for the time being.

    Make no diff to me lol cause honestly first of all not my car, not my call. 2nd as long as even the slightest bit of the original lense color is visible still, I considered that "smoked". That's with the lights off, its gonna be red regardless with them on of course lol. Now when you can't see any red from the lense, that's when I consider it "blacked out" which imo would be no different than black spray paint and is definitely unsafe.

    Not necessarily. There's a tastefully tinted tails, and overly tinted tails. From my understanding tinted tails was originally a "Euro" look, associated with high end cars, so I dont see how it would be considered a "ghetto mod".

    I say he doesn't spray them and buy a film that gives it a very light smoke to it that way he can just remove it whenever he wants

    It became popular in the euro VW crowd about 20 years ago. It was silly then, it is silly now ;)

    If it has a V8 and RWD, better than a normal 'Teg.

    Lies.

    B18C = About as close to a racing engine as has ever come in a mass produced car.

    RWD > FWD

    More control, balance and efficently laying down the power.

    Just sayin'

    And with the lightweight chassis of a Teg, RWD and a V8, I bet it's a rocket. Hope the chassis is reinfornced to handle the torque.

    FWD = Lighter weight, less drivetrain losses, etc.

    For a small, lightweight, low torque/high revving car...FWD is really quite good.

    And lift off oversteer is cool too haha

    But I'm also a HUGE fan of FWD Hondas.
