i was thinking about ordering some niteshade from modern to tint my tails

for those of you that have your tails tinted did it reduce the light output alot?
i was only thinking about putting on a coat, two at the most
i don't want people rear ending me cause they can't see my breaklights

haha no not at all i had mine tinted




the inner circle is two or three coats and the outside is like 6 or 7 to give you an idea.. i was worried about the same thing but no it shines through alot you would be suprised

cool thanks

i think i start with 1 coat and work my way up to where i want it

Thia is after 2/3rds of the can. The output is pretty much the same. Although i did get pulled over for them once.....

that sucks did they gave you a ticket

Nope the cop let me go because he said he needed to go to another call. I left happy as fuck because i have no money to pay another dam ticket

I had 3 coats on my RX-300 taillights. Lightoutput was fine, the tails were black as night, and no cop ever bothered me

Ive had them done since january i believe. And this was the first time that i got booked for them. After driving in front of cops so much. the cop had to make his quota i guess

so you guys do recomend that nightshade stuff

yezzir .

we have the same tales let me know how it turns out i was considering taking the ricer tin foil shine out of mine post pics

i'll post pics for sure, might be a couple weeks, still got finals today and next week

why can't it just be summer

DOH

I have mine tinted too, but not with ventshades spray. I used tinted vinyl. Looks great and I have no complaints, only compliments. Mine always has a nice polished looked due to the vinyl and easy to clean. Been on now for a year and I half and no worries with the cops. I will post a pic below:

tinted vinyls, or spray....which is cheaper?

i wish it was summer i had to push back intercooler install twice because of the stupid rain and cold

to me vinyl was cheaper since I got it free. It is easy to work with, and cleaning them is nothing to it. The only thing about them is that right after installaion you may see a few lines from where you aplied it little by little. But after it is in the heat this summer the lines will fall out with no problem. Took me like 10 minutes per light doing it myself, but having a helping hand to help hold the light then one applying the vinyl is easier.

After i looked into the vinyl stuff i decided to just go with the niteshades. it was WAY cheaper. Il try to find a link to the other stuff

Don't do niteshades. Get Pactra RC 294 Window Tint. No prep required...Looks awesome. Check my pics

where did u get that pactra stuff

At most hobby stores. Generally little places that do model airplanes and cars and such. Cost me $5 for the can

^ yeah that's what i used too (even though the can is small, it does the job for both tails) & 2 codes is perfect cuz you can still see through a little, almost like a "smoked" effect
