Tint the tails and the side markers. It'll look bad ass, especially with the dark tint you have on your glass.
That’s sharp.

Thanks brad; to the OP if you wanted to get these lights they are actually D.O.T legal. Or well they have a DOT number that AM provides on the site. They look lighter or darker depending on light conditions as well.
Looks like i will be tinting or getting the ones AM has. My old cobra i did the tint on and looked alright.
Gonna agree with Dale, buy the professional done ones.
I'm 50/50. Car has a lot of black already and I think it looks real sharp as is.
I had them on my black Cobra for a day before I took them off. I just didn't like the look but damn they look good on @909venm Cobra.
I vote no on the tinted tails. Am I the only one?
The car is red, and the tails/side markers somewhat blend into the red paint, why make them stick out. Especially the side markers, it will just be a black rectangle on the bumper.
Tinted tails look good on dark colored cars, very rarely am I a fan of them on a lighter colored car.
FYI: it is very simple to tint the tails yourself, especially the 99-04. They are very easy to spray and wet sand. 2-3 coats of VHT spray tint, followed by 2-3 coats of a quality clear.
Give them a smooth final wet sand, polish them up, and they will look great and have a deepness to them. I did a few pairs for friends back in the day.

Thanks for the input guys. Im still torn. Great information on how to tint them 98 svt
Ha well played, well played sir...
A few savages in here lol. Leave my tires alone i just put them on
Those look really good, especially with the tinted windows.
@paulstang347, I would definitely buy these from AM before I'd attempt to tint the factory tails. I think in the end you'll be happier. JMO.
light tint looks classy
There is a reason it is illegal. Some of the guys tint is so bad you cant see when they brake.
