cuz i dnt hav patience n ill b goin crazy waitin for that damn can of paint to come in lol

this is a great post though i personally dnt rele care if its illegal down here in la
ma tailights r tha last thing im worried bout gettin pulled over for lol

 

like it

 

mediaperformance has some dude

 

i tinted mine as dark as yours, but i didnt wet sand during prep, so theres a texture to the tint, but it still looks good. when doing this yourself, the base coat is the most important step in tinting your tail lights. also, dont go to fast when painting the third break light or paint will build up on the corners.

P.S: DONT BUY ANY VINIL TINT ON EBAY!!!

 

why not just do it yourself and make it the way you want it instead of having someone else do it. its as easy as spraypainting anything else.

 

ive had vht on all 5 rear lights for over a year now and have never been pulled over, only thing ive gotten is compliments

 

Where can i buy the spray paint and gloss finsh for the lights, and also, and how many coats would suffise?

 

If you dont like painting you can always go with static cling tint. I do love to paint but my friend had extra tint laying around so i put it on and i love them! You can get it at walmart for 15 bucks/

 

^^ I never even thought of that.. That way you can just remove it..

(does the girl come too? haha jk)

 

i just ordered custom tail light tint smoked 35% from stickercity.com for 50bucks plus tax and shipping, hopefully they dont suck

 

I got a whole roll of it for 11 bucks at advanced autoparts

 

Word. I'm just doing my rear marker lights and my 3rd. So this'll be way more adventageous than painting.. I can remove this if necessary..

 

that looks really good, prob wouldn't work with the coupe tail lights though.

 

I was thinking that. Flat surfaces will work great. I can't believe I never thought of that. But the coupes would just crease the film. You'd have to be insanely skilled to do them right, if at all. But being that skilled at placing tint would just be weird. haha

 

after reading this post and looking at my coupe in the driveway, i have realized that i prolly wasted 64 dollars with shipping and tax.

 

Nah. If it's pre-cut, that'll be the only way to go for the coupe if you want to do stick on. That's better than paint because if a cop gives you a fix-it ticket, at least you can just pull it off..

What % tint is shown in these pics? Anyone do their 3rd brakelight yet? I want to see how it looks before I do it.. But yeah, Advance has alot of percentages available.. I want dark as **** on the rear markr lenses, but I'd rather not be black on my 3rd.. Trade-offs..

 

I have the 5 % static cling. make sure you get double sided tape to hel with the install...makes it a hell of a lot easier.

 

Great write up bro . Will be doing this myself once the weather is nicer down here.
