Default tinted stock corners*Pics*

Hey guys i had tinted these a while ago and people wanted pics of them ON the car. Don't mind the car being up in the air. i am lowering it on stock bolts and some other stuff. I am unsure if i want to sell the Depo's i had in there or keep them for some other thing later. Let me know what ya think. This was done with Niteshades, no vinyl films.~Cole~

Look good. Curious why you didn't tint the whole thing, personal preference or is there another reason?

Nice! Change out the yellow bulb for a 4157 chrome, or LEDs to get rid of the "egg-yolk" look, and those babies will rock!

well the cars gonna get almost completly blacked out. The reason i left the DRL part is i LOVE how they look when going down the road and i didn't want them to be darked out. I've thought about going to switchbacks but idk how well they'll light up on the opaque stockers.So i will probably be going to the chrome ones as mentioned

These are the ones i pulled
