Blk01ponyGT · April 10th, 2008, 09:40 PM

tell me how it goes i've been thinking about doing it to mine too.

JStang14 · April 10th, 2008, 10:30 PM

does it come in one piece for each side or 3?

RC02GT · April 10th, 2008, 10:31 PM

what are you talking about, do you have 2 pieces or 6 peices, I just re did mine, just use plenty of soap/water and it makes it easy to work with.

when I did mine i went pretty much to the edge of the lens because if you dont you can tell the difference between the tint and your lens...ie leaves a line...use lots of soapy water and use a blow dryer and TAKE YOUR TIME! it can get f'd up really easy if you dont be patient. just have to work the tint...if they sent you a plastic squeege dont use it! use your fingers with plenty of soapy water.

i have 6 pieces. do i just lay them over the tailight and squeege them out and wait for them to dry and stuff or do i have to streach them or some shit like ive been hearing?

JStang14 · April 10th, 2008, 10:57 PM

just squeege them and let them dry, use a hair dryer or heat gun to make sure they really stick, just dont get them too hot

the two rectangle ones you wont have to do much forming with but the side ones can be a bitch because they need shrinking and streching, thats where the blow dryer comes into play just watch the heat. and like i said if its the plastic squeege that came with mine stay away from it and use your fingers because that squeege can fold your tint and crease it then your fucked

those things dont take much heat at all. i have tined windows for 4 years now so i have a little advantage on the know how. just take you time, you should be ok.

GUYS!

Go on E-bay and search for nite shades tail light tint, it's a spray and it works very, very well! a little 400 sand paper and the tint = sweet smooth wet look! I have it on my car in my pics you can see for yourselves. JMHO

lilmarc1988 · April 11th, 2008, 05:54 PM

They are all Black, the red in the picture is from the flash, that is how clear they look when you have your lights on or hit the brakes!
