Tinted tails


SLOWLX

Recommended Posts

I'm a fan of crisp, bright tail lights, even when not lit. But that's subjective I suppose. I totally agree with the rear-ending issue though; most people I see during my morning commute can barely handle driving in a straight line without swerving or nearly missing someone stopping.

Pics of rear end of the car your thinking about doing it too would definitely help people decide.

 

Id probably do it, but do you have a 3rd brake light or something that lights up bright? I wouldnt tint them if theres no other light on the back thats brighter.

I had a few different lights on my GT... kept all 3 and changed them out as I got sick of the other lol

 

Striped some LXs

Also striped these ones as they were just regular tails

VHT is so old school and looks matte. Tinted clear or the new Rustoleum is the thing to use.

 

Depends how you paint them. People who don't know what they are doing spray vht on and call it quits.

 

Proper way to do it is 3-4 coats of vht, 4 coats of clear. Wet sand and buff.

 

I have done about 10 sets now with no issues.

Exactly how i did mine, except i did 5 coats of vht and 5 coats of clear, with wetstanding inbetween them if there were imperfections in the coats. Came out great.
