tinted tails

Mustang RacR94 · May 12th, 2008, 11:46 PM

I bought the tint because the nightshades are all black. I don't like them being all black. With the tint you still have red. I ordered light and dark so whatever one I don't use someone can have for the shipping

baine21225 · May 12th, 2008, 11:54 PM

i like the night shades better but if you get pulled over for it you can get rid of the tint, the other stuff is going to look like crap if taken off

Ryan Paymaster · May 13th, 2008, 10:53 AM

I really highly doubt anyone telling you to take tint off of your tails.

I think tinting the tails is okay for a select few colors and styles of cars. I never found it attractive on white. Weems car comes to mind for being a white/back Mach 1 and obviously with the black headlights from Ford. Does he have tinted rear? Maybe that would change my mind. Usually I'm a fan of the red.

However in Doc's case, red, or dark shadow grey, or even black then tinting looks great.

What brand? The Rvinyl stuff is top notch and I think it would take a scotch brite pad to scratch mine up.

Mustang RacR94 · May 17th, 2008, 09:33 AM

I used rvinyl. And I probally couldve scratched it with a hand if I rubbed hard enough. The light tint looked like it wasnt even there and the dark was alright but still really light for being called "dark" maybe I got a crappy batch but the tail tint I got was horrible. Horrible

Damn. Well you seen mine and its the stuff from Rvinyl and it is very durable. Don't know whats up with that. Mine and sweet2kstang's mustangs both have the same stuff and it is very good stuff.

Mustang RacR94 · May 17th, 2008, 10:25 AM

maybe I just got some bad sets. Yours looks amazing. The dark they gave me was less then 35% tint by my comparison and yours looks alot darker then that. Maybe I'll give another set a try. It was only like twenty something anyway. Eh I'll order some more. Mine seriousaly scratched with a semi hard tool a soft one. And a extremely soft microfiber towel lol. But whatever. I'll let you know how it goes

Mustang RacR94 · May 17th, 2008, 11:30 AM

doc did you order the light or dark tint. And I was looking at ebay at some but can you give me a good link to the ones you bought because I ordered mine off there site so maybe that's what went wrong thanks

Rvinyl dicked me over again guys lol, it didnt scratch AS bad as last time but it still started scratching with just applicating tools, but i have another tint coming so we'll see how that goes, im making smirnoff do it for me thu lol i kinda suck at tint

Doc8224 · May 28th, 2008, 08:52 AM

Thats weird man. they must have started using a differnt film cuz you need a knife to do damage to mine. Sorry it didn't work for ya.

Mustang RacR94 · May 28th, 2008, 09:32 AM
