well i dont want covers..... so i was wondering would window tint hold up on the back tails?

 

Hey I know of one thing that might work for you...

I sell at my store (countdown hobbies) window tint spray...

A few people I know have used it on headlights and it works so I dont see why it wouldnt work on tail lights...

let me know if your interested and I can give you more info

 

summit racing sells Niteshadez, works great

 

i sorta dont wanna do it myself....... and with the spray u gotta know what ur doin or u'll have darker spots...........

 

someone should email rksport to find out how they tinted theirs...dont look at me though...lol

 

The tinted headlights look good too. Good luck with this.

 

now actually i know how to do the headlight, not necessarily tenting them, but painting the inside of them (which looks good...see sema 272 cobalt's headlights)its common practice to do this on rsx's and looks great. a easy do it yourself mod thats cheap as well.

 

Yeah I have a spray that I sell at my store, I've used it and so have my friends, its literally called Window Tint Spray. Works good but you can get dark spots...

 

use Niteshadez, not window tinting, thats why you get spots

 

what do u mean paint? like the chrome part? how would the light reflect on the road?

 

Not to hijack the thread but damn that car is hot, what kind of rims are on that bad boy?

 

stay on topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

just a little knowledge and experience I have on painted reflectors in light fixtures...... Chrom is the best reflector you get near 98% efficency, white gets near 85% eff. and gray get near 55% eff. I would highly suggest against painting the reflector

 

for anyone that cares i bought some covers on ebay haha

 

no, you dont paint the reflectors around the bulb...you do that like they did in the pics...you leave that part...but you paint the outlying areas...if i werent so busy id find a picture that would help show you this...

 

^^^ like this

 

so like the impala lights pretty much?

 

That's freaking awesome. I think I wanna do that on my SS.

 

note, those are RSX headlights, but its the concept

and yes, the impalas have it stock

 

just another reason for me to love my pala hahahaha

 

I'll Keep my supercharged SS and you keep you BLACK HEALIGHTS IMPALA.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

those headlights look familiar.

i had someone paint my headlights. chrome just didn't look good to me. i noticed no difference in lighting after i had them painted. looks better imo.

 

^^^ what kind of paint did you use for it?

 

Everyone whos interested, check out SilverSS/SC's headlight mod, it came out awesome:

Not sure how he did it or what paint he used, hopefully he will explain though

 

OK...no offence to anyone on this forum...this is strictly my opinion. There are two trends that I noticed are coming back from the late 80's, early 90's...that I not really impressed with too much. Tinting back lights and black rims on black cars. I did this on very first car. Looked good at that time but not worth the safety issue. The lights were barely visible at night, let along during the day. Very dangerous IMO.

Black rims on black cars...I'm sure this is just a fad that will pass...and I'm hoping very quickly. Fellas...everyone knows that black makes things appear smaller. So an 18" black rim looks like a 16" when mounted on an already black car...regardless if the lip is polished or not. Gun metal looks good but not BLACK. So IMO, clear out the tail lights and black out the chrome if you want like SilverSS did on the front lamps. That looks SICK!!
