Exterior paint changes

Hey all I just tinted my tail lights and 3rd light check it out in my pics of my car! I plan to black out the grille and rims next. Can I paint my bumpers too or will that not turn out well?

You keep mentioning pictures.

Where are these pictures located?

In my opinion, tinted light lenses give the cops cause to pull
you over. I know they look cool and all, but is it worth it?

I think he is talking about the pics in his garage, the link below the username. I clicked on his "2001 Ford Excursion" and I found the pics.

They look good but the cops might give you some trouble.

I was behind a small hatchback this AM in the rain (still dark)
I could barely tell he put on his brakelights the tinted
lenses were so dark you couldn't even tell his lights were on
once he took the foot off the brakes.

Thanks! I see them now!

And yes, the tint screams out "pull me over, cop!" Bad move.
