Thats a light coat of niteshade. Many times when people blackout there lights they put a thick coat. I did this to my old tail lights but then I sold them.

Except they don't look anything like the LC818...

Regardless, I've never been a big fan of this FSport wheel model.

+1, I don't hate these, but I wouldn't choose these for my car with so many other options out there.

It's better than the old F-Sport wheels, but still not crazy about them. Kinda look like Volk knockoffs to me.

uhm.. I thought it was like a matte vinyl. It don't look black-tint at all.

I planned to put 09 tail light on my 06, red out, and matte it out like the SEMA one. that would look sick. My car is also lowered on fsport spring w fsport exhaust too.

So basically just apply a light spray of niteshade on the tail light and it will look exactly like the SEMA one? Is there any other step I should also do?
