That looks bad ass!
I think you need to completely de-badge, and yes, tint the tails. Go for it!

Except GA. Tinted taillights are an instant blue light city and 'pull-over'.

That's what I thought with the Charger. A local dealer had a few an I thought I'd go drive one because I'll probably hate it.

Ya that didn't work out so well lol

That's how we ended up with my wife's Buick Regal 2.0T. She test drove the non-turbo version during the daytime. She has a light sensitivity to blue and green lights, so she wanted to see the instrument cluster at night. We went back that night and asked to see the instrument cluster on the car she test drove. I was looking at the sticker and it didn't show it was a turbo, yet the guy said it was a turbo when she drove it. We went back a couple days later, she test drove the turbo version and had to have it. We were getting her a new car no matter what, and she liked it, and we went home with it the same night. She scares that crap out of me sometimes the way she drives, and I am no slouch behind the wheel...lol...

Used to be here, but so many do it that they get away with it. That and blacked out windows.

OEMs are offering black packages now. It seems to me that as long the lens is clear and the lights are bright it isnt an issue. The smoked film can be hit or miss. But since you arent robbing, killing, adultering or otherwise directly hurting someone its fine.

Tail light tint on those chargers goes pretty unnoticed to the untrained eye since its already so black back there.

I drive this daily and sometimes into the sun twice a day. Tints on the window are a must. All of the windows.

You should tint your windows next

My daily is a 2015 charger. Bought it brand new in April 2016 as a left over. Needed awd for my driveway and New England winters though so mines got the v6. It’s been an awesome car. Only thing I’ve done to it is oil changes, a set of tires, and one set of rear brakes and it’s got 73,000 miles on it now.

The side an rear were tinted when I got it.

I tint every vehicle i get! Except the windshield, i wouldnt.

I am honestly considering having the windshield done. At the very least it needs the sunsheild strip across the top. I'm considering 35% or 40% on the whole thing though. There are to many jerks around here that don't dim their lights, have drop in led bulbs and/or light bars that don't cut them off at night. I pass at least 6-8 every night on my way home....

35% will be a little dark IMO. I tint all my windshields at 50% and either 5% or 20% for the rest of the vehicle. I dont know why my Passat is so dark but that windshield is only 50% with 5% around and a beige interior.

The windshield tint helps cut the glare immensely. I dont have much problems with high beams in my face its the sun that kills me.

Do you have inspection stickers or registration stickers that have to go on the glass?
