how long ago did you spray them with that Cool Shades stuff? Is it reflective? Lights up really well with direct daylight on it?
Im pretty sure i tried that stuff...i dont want to directly offend anyone with this stuff...but i will say that as a general rule, anything that has to do with your car...you pay for what you get.

since i do use a spray gun, it fuses with the lense itself. The good news about that is that it will last longer than how long the simpsons have been on TV. the bad news is that there is no way to take it off, unless you rub it off as soon as its sprayed on. So take that any way that you like, as either a good thing, or bad...but as EMan said, it does look damn good, he should know, he saw them in person.
