i did use VHT, probably about 5 coats from a good distance though. if you get up to close it pools up and drips. do some tests on scrap before use.

eh, its so dark you cant tell they are 97s. Maybe a lighter tint would still show the styling, but you can black out 92s/95s and it would look pretty much the same. Bleh, maybe I just want some 97 tails.

Of course this is only my opinion but I think you ruined a good set 0f 97 tails, they don't flow with the white or the wheels you have...Honestly do you really think the tints look better than OEM

in my HONEST opinion, they both look great. i was looking for a change in appearance, and im satisfied with it to the fullest. if i ever get tired or bored with it ill just buy some new 97's. its not like they're obsolete.
