How Hard Is It? (Tint Tail lights)

tsp_2177 · January 3rd, 2008, 01:19 PM

to tint our tail lights?
i'm thinking about tinting the tailights and then getting in between on the trunk lid painted black.
any thoughts? o this will be with the future roush window louvers too.

everyone knows about the covers. i'm pretty sure you can get a film that will go over them also similar to window tint. i've also heard of a spray tint you can use. do a search for it on here.

tsp_2177 · January 3rd, 2008, 01:23 PM

alright, yeah i don't like the covers because it doesn't look like a tail light anymore, but i'll have to check into the spray stuff.

There's a blackout panel that covers that taillights and every in between that looks pretty sharp. It removes the faux gas cap, too. I think I saw it in American Muscle...

I don't think that tinted tail lights on a redfire car looks too good.

Looks good Doc. If you copy/paste the IMG code the picture will show up on the page. Also, those tires are ugly, they look like truck tires

And you need a V6 bumper

JiMMy..BriX · January 3rd, 2008, 07:35 PM

I personally like the covers better they make the car look pretty mean but the spray works just aswell. You can find the spray at americanmuscle for like 30 bucks.

It is already posted on the 99-04 taillight tint topic. the tires bumper and lowering are my next couple mods, give me a chance I have only had it a couple months

after looking at some of the pics on american muscle. you might want to look yourself to see if that is what you really want. i love the idea of the spray on, but they just look like they are dull and completly stand out compared to the paint.

I have used the spray on a few vehicles, pretty much can create your own tailights, make sure you apply coats of it, 3 or 4 depending on how dark you want it, mine also faded, so clear coating them afterwards wouldnt be a bad idea..not to mention they come out shiny'er and nicer

psycho bob · January 3rd, 2008, 08:31 PM

clear is a good idea. i like the idea of spray tint, but didn't like the dullness. clearing them would fix that

I used some spray tint from the local hobby shop. They use it to paint windows on RC cars. After I sprayed three coats I came back with Wynns clearcoat.
