Black out the bowtie and mufflers. Tail lights are just asking for trouble.

I'm not a fan of blacked-out taillights,I want people to see my red lights so I don't get a-- packed at a traffic light,just my 2 cents.

I asked a shop to do mine and they said they couldn't do the creases, the would have to cut around where the headlights bend in! I tried it myself and it did not go well either lol

I myself did it on my 2013 not that long ago. But I already had some of the oracle 2.0 afterburners.

I think the combination looks awesome and no risk of getting rear ended cause they can still see the red ring and since it's plasma the lights really turn red when braking


Lights off


Afterburners on

Never thought of that...you just saved me money. Thanks

I had a friend rear end a very old beat up truck which was obviously in bad repair. I asked the cop if the tail light were working, maybe she hit it because they weren't. he said it wouldn't matter if the lights were working or not, its still her fault for hitting him. so basically you can have NO lights and still be ok accident wise. another way to put it, if a car is at rest in the street and you hit it...still your fault.

btw mine are tinted dark. I have been pulled over at times for other things, no front plate, tinted windows, loud exhaust. the cop was behind me (as they usually are lol) and never mentioned the tint. btw whenever I do see a cop that will be behind me I turn on my halos which turns on the tail lights. the lights do shine through the tint. not saying I wont get a ticket someday, but that might help.
