so far im stuck between tinting my stock ones or the LED ones, really the only reason i want to change mine is the fact that i hate that the brake light area is cut off on the top by the reverse lights...i think it looks like crap at night

Good choice. Get yourself a can of Nightshades and follow the instructions on the can. Clean up your tails real good with something like rubbing alcohol and spray a couple even coats of Nightshades on them. You'll probably only need one or two coats, but it all depends on how dark you want them. A nice smoked look can be achieved with 1-2 coats of Nightshades, I believe. I have about 6 coats of the cheaper version of Nightshades (Stuff called Spray Window Tint) on my taillights and about 9 coats on my third brake light. The tails are already starting to fade, but I'm planning on respraying my brake lights at Carlisle in July. :)

Good luck, man... And have fun! :D

Yeah, the export tails look sweet at night. That's how I could pick out Jason's (Diablo0) car when we were running all over the place last year at Carlisle during the evening hours. They almost look 'evil' when they're lit up. I'm not sure exactly how, but they do. :lol:
