You would have to spray them as the tint wouldnt work due to the conturs of our lights. While i was at aerotect getting my reflectors smoked i asked. With that said i wasnt going to take the lights apart and permently spray then with a tint spray. Non reverseable so im out. LOL 
I just did the reflector tint and red outs.

^^ That's right I think, cause there is no way to cut a vinyl into the shape of our tail lights to go around the contour. Plus, if it is made possible, application would be a b****. You can, take out your tail lights and spray them with tinting spray, like mentioned already.
And also, to chrome rims costs a lot, and it's more worth it if you bought a set of chrome rims aftermarket.

As for chroming the wheels, it depends on how close you are to a place that can do it. Chroming is not the expensive part; it's the delivery, the installation, the hassle of not having your wheels as it gets chromed, etc. I got my wheels chromed for about $600, but I picked it up as an exchange. Delivery would be another $150, and installation/alignment is about another $150. Don't forget about lost time to do so.

This can be found on EBAY.
