Black on Black!!! Lower and tinted, yay or nay?

[supersupramk3]

Just threw on a new set of flat black 521's. Im thinking about going a little lower in the rears (almost tucked) have plenty of clearance with fenders rolled and with all black tint. What do you guys think??? Keep the clean look without tinting windows or go with the aggressive all black look?

Tint!! Looks good!

I love my tint too, even though my car is white, my dog loves it too, he's not baking when we cruise, he loves sitting back there.

Keep it tinted, get rid of one of the TRD emblems on the back.

 

[xzeror]

why did you just black out the tail light center piece?

 

[Blackdawg]

looks good to me! front wheel filament is not so good IMO tho

damn i put my trd emblem same spot did you get your's from toyota?

Being in Cali, I would've assumed you'd already have tint done... I'm a big fan of tint and love how it looks on my black 91, or the wife's black 94. Hell, even the 07 Mazda 5 has tint all around.

I say tint, unless you like the "open-ness" or whatever reason the non-tint does it for you.

looks good man but I agree with the one guy the front could use a spacer but the rest of it looks awsome

Yeah I wanted to get rid of it, but now kinda stuck because if I take it off the original gunmetal gray is under....so kinda SOL

Im still thinking about tinting out the rest of the tail piece, dont want it too dark. I still want other crazy ass drivers out there to realize im signaling or braking.

Yeah, I realized that I do need spacers for the front. Ive just put the wheels on then took the pix and realized how much it really was sitting inwards.

The emblem came when i purchased the car. It adds a nice touch, the other one is on the license plate frame.

What sizes on the wheels.

Looks good but maybe a little spacer up front to make it flush with the fender.

Fronts are 18x8.5

Rears are 18x10

 

[hvyman]

Thats what i thought. Still looks good. Thinking about getting those or the new 527 unless i can stack some cash for some bbs or work..

 

[rodel]

Black wheels on black car. Lower. No tint.:bigthumb:

Yeah...I was thinking about bbs or work emotions too, but man for some reason I cant seem to justify spending that much on wheels. The 521's are simple and clean looking, yet still adds an aggressive look.

 

[hvyman]

The quality and weight justifyies it for me + the design is a lot better. Tho i do like you wheels but i would have gone 18x10 all around with a higher offset up front.

 

[Mkiii supra]

Looks great. and i like tint and i think tint looks best on darker colored cars.

 

[san supra]

front wheel fix and no trd sticker

 

[Skeezix]

Definitely tint, need to get the money together to do mine, had a brown 85 camry that I put tint on made it look sweet, flat blacked the car in it looked even better.

Black, black, black, and more black!!! Stealth mode:naughty:

I would recommend that you not tint your tails any darker, UNLESS you fabricate a way to make your lights rather bright. Nobody likes being rear ended because some asshat can't see through your VHT.

On the subject of tint, I tint all my cars, with the exception of my Mk2 (just haven't yet, don't drive it much), for two reasons:
-I don't like being insta-sunburned, as I'm at about 6500' of elevation. Literally takes less than half an hour in the sun to be cooking...
-I don't like people poking around looking in my car, what's inside is nobody's business but mine. :thumbsdow
