    Tail tinting

    I was thinking about tinting my taillights a little. Anyone got suggestions on a good product.

    Where would you get it at? I have looked at Wal-Mart, Autozone, and all the other places in town and havent seen it.

    Check a customizing shop that does Window tinting.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    I used nightshades. Just be careful cuz they run pretty easily so dont go crazy on the coat, paint it one light coat at a time. and they get dark fast so be careful on how many coats you put on...

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    I think I may do this to my Altezzas. But tape off the actual lights and just spray the part where you can see through to the housing so it is basically black then 2 red and one small white circles.

    What do ya'll think? Good idea, bad idea?

    Im not overhappy over that idea, i would black out the whole shit ;)

    I once saw a galant that had altezzas, but what they did was use a color match paint or something and it turned out nice. Let me see if i can find that pic for you. It was like a golden color galant.

    almost reminded me of skyline tails, but not really. If that made any since.
