Tail light tinting?
#26
I'm a big fan of smoked tail lights, even more when they are on a black car. I actually had a buddy of mine that works at a body shop paint mine. He is really good, he just sprayed them until I got them at the shade that I wanted. I'll try to find some pictures they where on my old car. I was thinking about trying to use some sort of Car wrap on my next car to have a less permanent way of tinting my tail lights.

After you sand it down like that and polish, don't you have to continually polish them like every time you wash the car?
Has anyone tried taking off the VHT and spraying them with clear?

I just can't agree with tinted lenses, that's why I just open and paint the inside of the heads and tails instead, it just looks so much better imho
*I've been working on a few different ideas, one of them being dual halos for brakes and turn signals while utilizing the brake light dome for reverse lights which will be for my 8 when they're done:D (red lens replaced with dark grey tinted lens, but reverse lights are okay with me to be tinted though)
