believe it or not you could see his taillights.LOL not that good BUT you could see them....

see forgot to say also when i do mine tinted im also gonna put in some brighter led bulbs
i might do some custom led lighting with a drill, a bunch of super bright leds and a hotglue gun.LMFAO im sure i could get those suckers to show enought light out the back


tho if your state has inspections it will probably be illegal.LOL since ya need reflectors in the rear. BUT gotta love states that dont have inspections

also... sorry about the ahuge pics... im editing them now

If you want to do the tint route I'd say either hit the guy on ebay who sells the vinyl tint overlays (I have a set for my 96 that I've not installed) or VHT Night Shades. I've used the Night Shades and it's a lil different than normal spray paint (more light n powdery in nature..... hard to describe) but the out come is beautiful.

tinting is just like it sounds
gotta sand and clean the lenses and one way is the same as painting the lenses.....

another way ive heard about is just using like window tint... but havent tried it tho..

Wow addicted2bass that looks wild. Finish it up though and get the sides too What did you use? Night shade. or some different stuff? I really need to pickup a can so I can do my lights. Let me know because that looks really wild, I can't wait to try it. It sounds like a good looking mod with little $ spent

well the cans i used i got off ebay preaty cheap... only thing was it was total crap!!!!
looked good at further distance BUT looked like total crap up close! so i sanded it all off... and i tried twice with the same results CRAP!!!!!!
i definatly wont buy them again.... if i do id definatly have to spray it into a small bottle and spray it with a REAL paint gun....

it just looked horibly fish eyed! and it has to be apllied even so you cannt just sand it smooth!

ive seen a few sites that offer the service BUT they cost about 300bucks... OUCH!!!!!!!!!
