Looks good:) Basically looks like mine with the GTS covers on....The light shines through those more at night then the day,well plus with the LED's in there they prolly are brighter.

Looks great!
But I didn't know you had a Razzi spoiler? I thought you had a SC/T spoiler.
When our site comes back online I'll have to update your profile.

How do you get such a nice shine? I am thinking of re-doing my tinted tails with Nightshades. Any tips would be helpful. :)

Uhhh,.. sorry, I'm thinkin paint thinner would eat into the lens. My best advice is, if you don't want it permanet, don't go over it w/ clearcoat.;)

I think I may re-do mine then..... what sort of prep work did you to the surface to get good adhesion? Just curious.

I just washed it with dish soap.. and thin layers.. and it dried fast.. and used the whole car.. then 2 thin layers of clear.. and then 2 heavy coat of clear..

hmm.. they might.. The tails look the same at night as if the tint wasn't there or it looks that way to me..

You didn't have to sand your tailights or anything for the adhesion process, I read elsewhere that some people do, I have a black SE and want to tint my tails, they would look a lot better, how many layers of the night shade did you use, I know you did 2 thin layers of clearcoat and then 2 thick ones, any help would be appreciated, I have been wanting to do this for a while now

They were illegal... was suppose to take them off but I Didn't.. I also got a ticket for my tint.. 3 times that I remember of.. so its all gone.. so the tails I think are goin to stay.. maybe..
