Sorry if this has already been covered but ive seen some rear smoked lights on a CTR that looked quite nice, better than the pre facelift an facelift imo. Ive tried searching on ebay but nothing really came up.. Just wondering if anyone has or knows anyone with some? Thanks

I think its just a thick film...to apply...But the rear bumper and headlight I think would need to come out for that 100% perfect finish...

Let me make some phone calls might put you through the correct people...Give me a couple of days...

The rear lights of a car have to be reflective in the dark, so if the tint/film/paint is too dark they could be illegal. Even some 'road legal' aftermarket ones aren't actually legal unless you stick some reflectors elsewhere on the rear of the car.

I don't like the tinted light look, bit 1990's.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
