Yeah buy the pre cut ones because trying to do it from the roll of window tint isn't going to happen. Learned that the hard way. LOL

I tried for like a half hour. I didn't want to bend correctly. Just spend the money and get the pre cuts.

I've seen the spray too and when you were within 4' of the car you could see the runny streaks on the lights. Now maybe that guy was a tool and did it wrong, but he had to buy a new set of lights because his friend kept cracking on his other wise good looking Eclpise.

i bought the pre cut tint off ebay and one off them came off haha...i didnt know until my brother told me hey your light isnt tinted..haha i was like fuck..i think it came of because i went to an automatic car wash and your not suppose to do that with pre cut tint on the tailight...oh well i'll just buy them again

I got the pre-cut tints from autobadges and they were pretty easy to put on. Can't wait to see the finished product bro, they're gonna look badass on a white mach

Blk01ponyGT · September 2nd, 2007, 05:12 PM

IMO u shouldent spray your taillights...get the pre cut tint and have peace of mind and no drip marks or anything..ive seen the pre cuts they look good and fit perfect

MaD03 · September 2nd, 2007, 05:40 PM

but cant u just buy the dark tail lights? why go to all the trouble by spraying and taking the chance it runs and looks all crappy?

they only way the spray isnt gonna look good or work good is if your a total retard and have no experience using a spray can. VHT NITE SHADES. Thats what you want to buy.

ujslost · September 2nd, 2007, 05:51 PM
