tinting tail lights
So yeah what? None of the other lights are flat/matte. I would compare lights to lights before comparing lights to trim.
I think it looks sloppy and unfinished. The only time I've seen it look good is when the rest of the vehicle is satin black (professionally sprayed, not rattle-canned).
Like so:



Here are some more glossy tails that look waaaaay classier IMHO:



I think the VHT is good and all, but it NEEDS to be finished off with a clearcoat and buff/polilsh/wax to look it's best.

It depends on the paint and finish of the car. Those first 3 you posted TBB are all flat black painted vehicles, so a glossy finish on the lights would probably stand out and look out of place IMO.
I do agree with you though about the bottom ones. If you have a shiny/glossy paint then I like the clear coated tint better. I haven't decided if I will clear mine once I tint them. I figure I'll get them tinted and decide what to do once I see them.
Btw...cbr, those tails look AWESOME on your truck!!
