go with the paint....that pic looks like they just photoshopped out the taillights

Looks like the seller painted the tail in MSpaint.

thats what i want, easier to remove. im not a big fan of painting thing ( interor trim,lights, etc)

i hope it is not that dark tho.:eek:

yeah thats what i thought too. just wasnt sure if it was cheaper. do any of you have the link on "how to" paint the tail lights? thanks.

these are pictures of my car with that cling stuff, it really doesnt matter what you do but i would use the tint instead of the paint, because if you ever get a ticket or whatnot for it, you can easily remove the tint, rather then spending $150 on new rear tails.

Gr1m, where did you purchase these tint covers? they are exactly what i want for mine. were they expensive?

what % is it grim ?

u just got a message from gr1m. he says its 20% and that he got it at a local sound and security shop installed for $125. hope this info helps.

$125 wow :rolleyes2: seams high to me
its like $10 a roll ;).

wonder if it will come off ? it might not cause the plastic

yeah, it does seem pricy. will regular window tint work just as good? that isnt too hard to take off is it?

all you should need is tint get a roll so you can try a couple times. and a heat gun. take tails out clean very very well take a heat gun and warm the tint up. pull the clear pasic off. warm it up again now spray soapy water on the tail and lay the sheet of tint on the tail get a squgey and spread it out get all the water out and bubbles now trim you excess off....
also first step is cutting it close to the corrct size..

I want to do that but I painted my tails. I dont like it now so I have to wet sand it. will it still look good if I wet sand and then lay the tint over?

wetsand should be fine since your throwing someover it

pimpalero, so any tint will do? will walmart tint work just fine? thanks for the mini how to, really appreciate it.

i dont know but i quess it would work vin is the one that did that

this is what i used one my tails i heard regular window tint does not work becasue it wont curve with the tails ive had this stuff on for over a year and no problem with it yet http://www.rvinyl.com/wrapkits/vinyl...headlights.htm?

i know it says headlights but works for tailights heres pic on my car

you need to heat it for the tail light curve. like doing a back window in a alero


how dark is that % ? looks like 30%

i didnt pay $125 for them installed, my stereo shop used my car as the test car to see how they looked
