Not a big fan of the exhaust though. Kind of looks like a fart can. Little big.

amazing idea. It will look awsome with that. Its actually not that the muffler is too big, but the bumper just doesnt quite fit it.

Ok i got my stuff at The Hobby Lobby , but most hobbys stores have it. It is a lil 3oz spray bottle that cost roughly 5.50 a bottle i used 2 bottles on mine, i would suggest 3 just in case. That paint is made by, Model Master (custom spray lacquer) Color: Transparent Black Window Tint. I did i think 4 coats on the reverse and 3 on the tails, ran out for 4t coat, still ahvent clear coated yet to lazy and sick.

O HELPFUL HINT ABUT THIS PAINT::

when you spray it on the lights ITS NOT BLACK RIGHT AWAY away its clear then let it sit for 10 min and it will slowly turn darker, keep applying with 10 min waits between coats.

Looks good. I used the same stuff on my Cavalier before I heard about VHT. Def clear coat it asap. I had to do it a second time because it started to flake off around the edge. Also I ended up sanding the lenses down before to make sure they were smooth. Then sprayed 3 or 4 coats of the tint then 2 or 3 coats of clear.

1 Tinted and 1 Stock


Both Tinted

I put clearcoat on and they were perfect for the 2 years i owned the car after i did it. And i saw the kid that bought my cavi and the tails still looked good. Guess it all depended on the prep or i just got lucky. But yea, i'm going with VHT this time around.
