Check advanced auto parts; I searched around for literally 2-3 months before I finally found a store that carried Niteshades... then of course, the next day, I noticed the Advanced Auto Parts literally less than a mile away from my apartment had a few cans of it sitting on a shelf behind the counter. If all else fails, Summit Racing still carries it.

here they are "smoked". not sure if i wanna keep them like this or if i want to hit them with a couple more coats. i need to wet sand w/ 2000 grit and put another coat of tint on them. there are a few spots that are raised from a couple pieces of dust out in the garage.

darker for sure
black the suckers out... they have LEDs in them, right? If so, they'll shine just fine.

I think the altezzas are ugly but the way they light up looks good. Unlit though and with the housing visible, they look fugly. Blacking them out should give you the best of both worlds: can't see the altezza housing, but you get to see the way they light up.
