Two sites offer a Smoked Tail Light Covers kit.
Which do you think is better quality?
I have a silver '03 Elantra and plan or removing the red OEM lenses and replacing them with the smoked not just putting the smoked lenses over top of the OEM red ones.
Please take a look at the pictures and information on the two pages below and let me know which you think I should buy.
I'm going to buy whichever is said to be better on monday.
(side note: I might put some laminex charcoal film over the taillight covers if the are not dark enough and I will definitly be puting it over the headlights)
Shark Racing's Smoked Tail Light Covers kit:

Dreamka4u's Smoked Tail Light Covers kit:

PS
(I think the packaging on the Dreamka4u's Smoked Tail Light Covers kit looks cheasy, like it should be hanging on a dollar store rack with that cheap 2 for a dollar candy bags)

theyre the same thing. i just got mine from dreamka4u and they look great
just remember if you decide to crack the red out, i belive youre going to have to get red bulbs or do somthing to keep the brake light look. if you just stick them on, they still look great and all the light shows thru at the same color it should be

I think that the sharkracing ones looks better.
Especially on a silver car.
I wish I could get them, but my tails are different.

After doing a search on each company and their track record for customer service. I ordered from Dreamka4u. Within 2 hours I recieved a confirmation e-mail and it stated when my order would be shipped and roughly when it should arrive. Should have them this week along with my new headlights ( the chrome ones). Plan on doing the knock out of the red lenses also on the tails.

I got the ones from Dreamka4u and they good, got here quick, but I'm giving them to clarion. I really think they are the exact same thing though from either company. Did you order the chrome headlights from them too, or get 'em online? I got the ebay ones for $160 shipped for the pair. They look great.

Dont order from sharkracing, they have bad customer service. Dreamka4u is the way to go.

I did buy a couple switch blade keys from shark racing before and they were crap and broke fast so yeah I'm leaning towards deamka4u's.
Also dreamka4u's lenses are a few $'s cheaper I think.
The poll is going more towards shark racing's but the people posting are saying to go with dreamka4u's.
Shark racing definitly has pictures that make them look a lot better but they don't have a picture of the packaging or of it close up seperatly, only on cars.
People have said that they are probably the same manufacture but is anyone sure of this?
Has anyone bought the lenses from sharkracing yet?

OK well if James says so then it must be true.
I'll go ahead and just order it from Dreamka4u as they charge the least ($55 instead of $59 from Shark Racing).
Felex did you get yours from shark racing already?
Thanks for are the info that's really what I needed to know; if one was better than the other. Since they are exactly the same brand and everything it's now just a question of price and seller.

If all goes right I should have mine from Dreamka4u late this week. When they do will let you know. Ordered April 9. Bout 10 days for delivery according to their e-mail. If I can get my hands on a Digi cam will do a DIY on installing them permenatly. (Replacing the red lenses.)

In the taillight Q&A sticky at the top the silver elantra's taillights look a lot darker than the pictures I've seen on sharkracing etc. is it just the smoked lenses or is it the smoked lenses with nite shades or some film over it?
