Tinted my tail lights

Did them ysterday. Looking at it I kind of wished I had done one more coat. but I can always add more later.

any way I think they look good on the fiji blue. and bloody amazing on the blue at night






EDIT:::
oh and the 06 rallye red Si we did at the same time

dude the fiji blue looks 3% seeing as how they are like letting no light through. the lower the percent the darker the tint thats y he said it was hard to see the 3rd brake light.

I would have thought that 3 % will make the tail lights completely black. I mean... you can still see the red reflecting although its 3% tint. but if he says its 3% i guess it is 3%. And thanks for the lesson on tint. But I already knew that.
