    I've seen it before, but not on a protege. hard to say really, it does look good, but only on some vehicles. one of our resident photoshop nuts digitally smoked his tails, and it looked half decent in the pic, not sure how it'd turn out in real life though.

    as long as it doesn't violate state laws, give it a whirl. New stuff is always exciting
    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

      I love the way it turned out. I haven't had any problems with people not seeing my taillights.... yet.

        What did you use? I'm considering tinting my tails and would like some suggestions on what's good to use.

              That's the stuff xxtokesxx suggested to me. I might have to give it a shot.

                    not MT. seriously. you can drive a truck with no doors, no roof, no bed, no hood, nothing except mud flaps and bumpers and be legal. and if its old enough, pay a little extra and get lifetime reg. this state is cool.
