I'm thinking about getting my Taillights Painted & Tinted (Medium Tint, I think) through Avon Custom Wheel in a few days. I made a photoshop of my Charger to reflect how it would look. Please vote on the poll with your opinion on Tinted/Painted vs Stock. Please post comments, too!
- STOCK -

The stock color looks better with your car color in my opinion.

I think it's better just tinted all over. It doesn't seem look good with painted taillights especially with Daytona side decals.
EDIT: I did not vote on either choices. I would vote just tinted taillights.

I think that you know what I am going to vote for...
PAINTED AND TINTED!!!!
Then when they are on... I would go to a vinyl place and have them match up the black strip and have it add a small piece to match up the factory vinyl work... they will be small pieces and will not cost a ton.
Also the tinted will blend in great on the flat black trunk sticker...

I prefer the stock look with your color.

Stock. Tinted isn't bad, but I swear if you paint those tail-lights like a 17 year old Accord driver, I'm gonna sneak into your garage in the middle of the night and Liberate your Daytona in the name of all that is decent and righteous.

:cool: I got to go with Painted and Tinted, but as Mighty Noid said add the
vinyl. Great idea and should be a great look.
But you already knew that ...............................

I like the look of tinted, great look for car shows, but I followed someone once with tinted tail lights, and it was very hard to see his brake lights. I decided then that I will never tint my tail lights.

Tinted yes, painted no.

Tint the whole thing.. Then the eyes will flow through the decals and lights instead of being interrupted by the paint.

I voted painted/tinted because that was the only option, BUT...
I don't care for painted lenses at all. Tinted would be the way I would (did) go, especially with the rear graphics... nice and clean.
In addition, because of the way the 300 taillights wrap around and can be seen from the side, I also did tinted sidemarkers for a more unified side view.
This might be a consideration for your Charger as well :)
G'Luck!
