Rep Power: 314 dude you did them too dark now if you get rearended during the day. they can blame it on you because your tails are modded....... 
when i did mine i left a smalll stripe (with electrical tape) on the top section to let the light throutgh during the day. and i also left the rereverse lights un moddedso it looks OEM and they cant tell the diff... i posted it up in the DIY smoked tails thread... also i have mine reversed too did it a while ago i hate the dohnut. now they act as huge turn siginals now:P
why did you do another DIY thread on this isnt there like 3 already?

I smoked mine awhile back, I don't think mine came out as good as yours, but their sweet none the less.
thats harsh, i've had mine for a month or so here in South Jersey and not a cop cares 1 bit. I've also have had 5% tint on all windows for over a year and they don't care either. I guess i'm in a lucky area.

Rep Power: 314 thats why i masked the reverse lights and used a strip of electrical tape for the brakelights during the day... you can deff see them. plus i mean you want to be safe right? i dont want some dumbass hitting me from behind and then blaiming it on me..
