I painted the outside. I put on 3 coats of tint. I originally planned on putting one coat of tint so it wont be completly black... just a little smoked out. After the first coat it looked a little smoked out but in the middle where the red reflector is turned pink when light hit it.
Thats why I made them really dark so the red reflector inside wont look pink through the tint.
i went on testors couple of mintues ago to buy items, came out to 17.35. Will be cheaper and work the same by going to kragen or somewhere that carries same product. Wat do you guys recommend?
hustle like mofo.. you going to be at the philly meet? I'll see you there at the end of may.. i want to see them in person... they look hot.. but u know what im saying the smoke .. im might try it...
It is REALLY REALLY hard to take apart the tail light to spray on the inside. I tried and ruined 1 of my stocks. Way harder than headlight. I have a pic of the difference. It really isnt that noticalble(sp). PM for a pic.
man, this was something that i had on mine that made my car 100% different. I have had mine since i got my car last may......infact i may have been the 1st coupe with them and the reverse lights still white.....i love it but am thinking about going back and redueing them....i hope paint remover will work on them.
Wnjoy but they look the best with black projectors or diy black headlights

no no i was first... please man who gives a fuk?
why dont you have any pics of it in your gallery if you were the first?
anyways i was thinking maybe if i use some real, krylon triple thick clear glaze..instead of that testors clear do you think it will stay on longer? it wont get affected by ammonia! and it is very shinny. i got 2 cans of the tint. i am going to be doing them on my oem tails. so i will be posting some pics with a reveiw of what i think with this clear coat and oem tails!!
mofo, you said to make sure to buy two cans of tint because one will not be enough. Do i use the entire can on one taillight and entire one on the other?

you dont use the entire can on 1 light, i would say you use about 90% of it.
what about using smoke graphics? LIKE smoked vine el ( cannot spell the word.? I did my eye lids like that and its looks hot.. I THINK SMOKE graphics is the way to go..
i ordered the items from testors two weeks ago. Im not sure how long it suppose to take to get to San Fran, but two weeks is a long time. (im still waiting for the items to show up.)

Call them with your order number. They did the same sh!t to me.... I called them like a week and a half after I placed the order and they still didnt ship the item out. After my call I got the spray within 3 days.
