Tail light tint/covers ?

So, I'm not a big fan of aftermarket taillights, so I'd rather just make my stockers darker. Don't really have a whole lot of time for the spray tint stuff, so I'm just perusing around online and found a couple I thought I'd ask you guys about...

Ad makes them look really good..but nervous about how well they stay stuck on; being the peel and stick kind. Its really cheap too..hmmm

Those covers from Cobat Addiction...Id like to have the whole lens covered, and these are getting a little pricey.

I have memories of that beach...or nearby the beach Lol...I'll share.

It was mid March, and midnight. Nice ocean breeze rolling up the hills to us, while we stood around cleaning ourselves with baby wipes in the nude. Field week was really fun at boot camp. Lulz


Damn ocean breeze. You know how cold that was? I don't think I've been so cold in my life, and I'm from Kansas!

don't have the coupe but do have the vinyl tint on my sedan tails. If your not patient go with the nightshades cuz you have to be patient with vinyl. It does take tome squeegeing the air bubbles out and being careful not to crease it

In the time you spent typing up all the posts about how lazy you are and looking up stuff on ebay you couldve wetsanded sprayed and clear coated and been done with it. /thread.

I bought the vinyls off ebay for the coupe tail lights, and your going to be VERY disappointed if you go that route. I'm tint spraying mine today actually, so I'll let you know how that went in a few hours after I find the motivation to get up and go do it.

You know what you can do is buy the vinyl tint from eBay. That's gonna be just the "face" of the lights and then buy the ca tail covers for the sides. Gonna be pricey but you said you didn't wanna spray. I would go this route. A bit pricey but at least it's removable.

go with nightshades, 2-3 hours tops and thats if you sand witch isnt even nessacary

and the end result is way better then covers, and if you want to go back to stock,
just ask around on here sombody will trade for tinted tails in a heartbeat.

and its like 40-50$ all together (20-25$ for nightshades and 20-25$ for clear coat)

thats what they charge us in canada anyway
