My First Mod Need Lots Of Help

Narcotics · May 24th, 2007, 12:14 AM

Hello I drive a 2000 mustang v6, I want to tint the tail lights but never done any thing like this before. What tools and stuff do I need to do this and does any body know a good tutorial with pictures on how to do it the right way?

thetrooper31 · May 24th, 2007, 12:16 AM

just get the ones that you can stick on , you can prob find them on ebay

ByPopularDemand · May 24th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Buy some stick on tints and stick em on...try autobadges.com

Onemanzu · May 24th, 2007, 12:25 AM

sell your car before you get to attached to it and it breaks down on you... uhgg...

just messing

ebay will have em and autobadges might... jcwhitney is another place to look and summitracing if you are getting desperate

Narcotics · May 24th, 2007, 12:27 AM

I found them on autobadges but I don't want to pay that much for them... I was thinking I can make it my self dont they sell tints at stores and I can cut them out some how?

Onemanzu · May 24th, 2007, 12:42 AM

you can apply it like normal tint and then trim the access off

would that peel off from rain water ? What stores have window tints anyh way Ive never seen them before?

02ponypackage · May 24th, 2007, 10:41 AM

get it off ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...QQcmdZViewItem ...this is the seller i got it from...u choose the 2 different shades u want for the tint...it comes with instructions but what you need it a plastic spray bottle with a little soap and alcohol mixed in with water shake it up till it soapy and a credit card or license something small and flat of that sort....spary the tail lights and wipe them down....then spray the tail lights again after u clean them...dont be afriad of using to much spray because the tail light pieces will be able to move around...then with the card u can push the water out behind it...just make sure its done in the shade...or on a cool day..because it would dry up quicker which all u have to do is re spray...and no it will not come off in the rain...u need to pull it off yourself and spray behind it to get it off

walmart and discount or advance...but why not get something like this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/fe...461460784.html

Narcotics · May 24th, 2007, 12:13 PM

Because I don't have much money saving for some other things right now. I also just don't like the covers because it sticks out farther then the stock lights and just don't look as good as tinted. I don't want complete black out too.

You know how the tail lights of the 00 curve seperating the 3 lights in the tail light. Do I tint that curve too ?

Murderjetz · May 24th, 2007, 02:35 PM

You can also get spray tint, from americanmuscle.com for example. you just spray it on, more layers to make it darker, so you get to kinda choose the level of tint.

Narcotics · May 24th, 2007, 09:14 PM

spray on would be hard though to have a even coat acrossed the whole thing. I just want to put tints on it because i can buy them at a store. So do i tint that curve that seperates the lights in the taill ight?

Onemanzu · May 24th, 2007, 09:27 PM

well the ebay ones look promissing ... they are just pre cut out tint that you can get at any auto store or walmart

Narcotics · May 24th, 2007, 09:31 PM

I don't want to buy from the internet.... I just want to go to the store and buy window tint then cut them out and stick them on. Do you tint that curve though and what's the best way to do this

Onemanzu · May 24th, 2007, 09:38 PM

the best way would be to make some measurements and cut out a box thats a bout an inch or two bigger then what your covering... after that just follow the steps listed above

i would cover the whole thing

96GtGoodz · November 29th, 2007, 08:15 PM

get Vht nightshade off ebay and take them out spray them like 3 coats is good and then some clear coat better than those stickers and ugly plastic ones

96GtGoodz · November 29th, 2007, 08:16 PM

oh and spray on isnt hard to get it even i never spray painted anything before and i did mine its simple

Onemanzu · November 29th, 2007, 11:04 PM

hmmm almost 6 months old??

Stang6899 · November 29th, 2007, 11:14 PM
