Ok so i bought some transparent paint from walmart and smoked my tailights this morning. I'm not sure if you can call it smoked because they are straight up black, but the lights are still pretty bright when reverse or brakes lights are on, but imo it looks awesome. My camera battery is dead so ill have pictures up in about 20 or 30 mins.

 

what brand was the walmart stuff? didnt know they carried anything like that?

 

tailights have nothing to do w/ performance for the 2.4 so moving it to appearance.

 

It's krylon acrylic crystal color transparent finish, the color is slate black. I think it was like 2.79, it was in the paint section look for an cap that's see through black. Im going to get the camera now so i can take some pic's

 

interesting. i was going to buy some more nightshades, but if they're that cheap at walmart i might get some. just concerned that its not going to match the nightshades

 

Sorry..

Here are the pics! = P

 

looks good.

 

Thank's and i was really surprised how bright the lights still get. Last night i started some of the lights and you couldnt hardely even tell they had paint over them.

 

very nice

 

how about having someone take pictures with your foot on the brake or in reverse so we can see

 

very dangerous

 

how do they look with the brake lights on? can we get a pic?

 

I like..

 

Ill get one before the day is over.

 

No one even noticed my tag?!?!? lol

 

nice work....I wonder if anyone is due to come out with some aftermarket taillights for us soon.

 

your car looks sick. keep up the great work and im waiting on my second set of tails so i can tint something

 

Thanks tuesday im getting my 18's powder coated and im doing the inside of my headlights

 

do the reflectors still light up at night? Like if the car is parked on the road and a car is coming up from behind?

 

yes but its not quiet as noticable, its defintly worth it there not much more dim then stock.

 

I just did mine with nite shades last weekend. Damn now im mad that i spent the $25 on it instead of $3 at walmart. I guess if i ever need more paint to touch them up or make mine darker or for whatever reason I'll check this stuff out

 

dude that looks sooo sick im gonna do that to my victoryred i think ill look killer...you dont you do a How To Guide so guys like me who have no idea how to do this **** can do it without ****** up. lol.

 

have you thought about doing it to ur headlights?

 

U cant use that type of product on the headlights. Its not transparent enough to let the large amount of light thru that is needed for driving at night.

 

awwww tahts dissapointing but still looks crazy...ill probably get some projectors or something that has the headlights outlined in black rather then that shiny crap.
