Tinted my G5 taillights

They are as dark as they go (whole can). I messed up a little on the third brake light, but nothing a little sanding couldn't fix. The pics were taken with my cell phone, so the quality sucks, but it'll do.



EDIT - Rehosted the photos.

Dont go by what I say. Post a thread and see if people actually found vinyl useful or not. But knowing this site and from what ive seen, is that VHT Spray is the way to go.

And dont take my word for it about the brake fluid. Someone told me that, and no one ever said he was wrong. So I guessed he was right. And I heard someone say that thinner will melt the plastic.







NICE TAILS DUDE. A lil to dark for my taste, but awesome turn out. You use any clear coats?

All G5's have the low wing stock. One of a couple options which make base Cobalts a little cheaper than G5.

I don't know, you can see my taillights perfectly when I hit the brakes, both at day and night. Plus, I live in West Virginia. Cops here could care less about that stuff.

You'll see. And I thought it wasnt illegal for a cop to pull you over just as long as you can see red. Hmmmm, im going to have to ask a cop this question.
