hey guys, recently i started tinting taillights on the side to make a few extra bucks with guys locally and on club grand prix and thought i should make a thread over here to see if any of you guys would be interested...

it consists of me prepping the taillights and spraying on VHT nightshades which is a transparent "tint" that will make your taillights look dark/smoked/black and still let light through (technically i have to say its for offroad use only) but i have had no problems or complaints with myself or others with light issues or the law.

I then use Dupont ChromaClear sprayed through one of the best spray guns on the market (iwata lph-400) to clear coat it and i wetsand out any imperfections...

I have done many sets locally and on clubgp...here are some pics

How far are you away from Omaha, NE? I've had my covers for a about a year, and have had no problems with the law. Would you do front too?

id prefer not to do headlights because i use VHT and it doesnt look right when used on the headlights....but i suppose i could do a custom mix with base/clear for the headlights if someone wanted..

I may be interested in doing this at some point, I'd like to find another set of tails though.

I'll bite. I've got a set of GT tails siting here that I've been wanting to tint myself but I'm afraid I'll screw it up. I used the Vinyl tint on my stockers and while it looks ok from a few feet away, it looks like crap up close.

PM me the info for shipping and Paypal and I'll box up my spare set this week.
