Tail light options. Smoke overlay, Ebay or VHT?

I want to go with the all black look again on this car. I had the cheap ebay tail lights that broke the lens off so i have 2 reverse lights and the left tail that are still good which sux. I was wondering what all of you thought. should i spend 20 bucks and just get tint overlays, spend 100 on smoked ones from ebay (that broke once already) or should i buy a set of tails and reverse lights from someone here and night shade them?? thanks for your input

Vinyl tint - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...spagenameZWDVW

VHT - plus cost of tails/reverse lights http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-CAN...spagenameZWDVW

VHT....

it will NEVER come off if you clearcoat it.

Just make sure you use 2,000 grit sandpaper before you do so it looks factory.

also, if you want the nightshades shinny you can wet sand them when their dry and polish them. That is what i did because i thought they were a bit dull looking.
