Woa, that looks good, what did you use? I'm definitely niteshading the whole front, still in the air about red or black for the rear tails. Not sure what would look best on a red celi.

personally i would go with black on a red celi. i like the contrast. but that is just what i would do.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
will the nightshade stuff work on the headlights? if so - what kind of prep would i need 2 do and can someone give me a brand of acrylic clearcoat i can order?
I think I'm with you goferris, I ordered a can of niteshades, I'll see if that will do everything. Should look hawt.
one or two layers of acrylic clear coat should be fine.
If you use Folia Tec tail light spray it's a one coat application & they have various colors.
Just took my tinted tails off as bought some later spec JDM's.

I have something i use for headlights but it's not a spray so doesn't chip etc & will also allow you to colour match to your car.

How do you get on at MOT time with tinted headlights? And does it make them any dimmer - my headlights are like candles even with PIAA bulbs laugh.gif
I find my lights really good kindasad.gif

Is it possible to use window tint directly on the tail light?
i wouldnt use window tint. just use the VHT Nightshade and tint it then put acrylic clear coat and youll be set my friend
I did my fronts, think they turned out pretty well. Used three coats of VHT, turned out nice and dark but when they are on 100% visible.

Why would anybody want to ruin their tail lights like that?

That being said, I think it might look cool to smoke the inner housing of the turn signal area...
