This thread should explain everything. Especially when they get into pictures and videos. Good for a laugh.

Make fun of ricers, respect tuners.

Agreed ^

The idiot in the Matrix with the fully blacked out taillights, disconnected CHMSL, and fartcan exhaust was a ricer.

The RS package will have darker tails...
I put some nightshades on my car but only two light coats so the lenses look deep red and you can still see them perfectly. I'm not stupid enough to put it on the headlights either FYI before I am called a ricer.

Oh yeah, simple smoked lenses look good and function just fine. We're complaining about people who make them so dark you can't even see the lights.

Last night I was stuck in front of a ricer with bright purple headlights. So distracting.

see not many of u are part of the tuner world. me being in it are lead to belive that smoked out tails not "BLACKED" are a more euro look. fully blacked tails via spray tint or vinyl is just stupid and unsafe. my tail lights on my 3 are a smoked lense on a led tail light houseing. not only are they brighter than the next car beside my but they also look better when lit up or not lit up.
i aint a ricer either nor are my tail lights those dumb euro things.
