I wish i would have thought to do a write up with pics on this before i started the project, but if anyone is interested i can write one up on how to smoke your tails for 5 bucks.

It's a paint found in hobby shops called Pactra "window tint" for 5 bucks a can, all you do is barely scruff the tail lights up with a dish scrubber (not brillo pad) but the green and yellow one. and spray in thin coats untill it's the shade you want. comes out perfect and is super easy to do. looks AMAZING

 

If you can tell the forum how it will be different from the other write-ups, we'll listen.

 

I used model car window tint, I like it cause, if you don't like it, or it messes up, you can rub it off with alcohol. And it doesn't come off when you wash the car

 

any pictures?

 

i used vht to tint my tail lights and front .... bought the stuff from ebay and it works great .... i shall take pix of it soon .... i didnt go to dark.... on my tail... but i did my headlight ... and then blackhouse them which looks pretty swt...

will take pix

 

Iv done it to mine... eaaaasy

 

I wonder how good this would look on a black Sc

 

Mine are painted with 1 part 'dab of black' and 10 parts clear...

 

kinda looks good, ill consider the idea of using those

Even with stock rims makes such a difference when lowered.. I have the same rims, can't wait to install my JIC's. it doesnt look all that bad actually. did you set it up so the rear is higher?

 

thanks man! i might go ahead and do that well see

 

Yes sir, that is with the front slammed 100% and the rear is only 50%

Now they both sit at a nice 75% drop and the stance is amazing, still get a little rubage and i had to tuck my wireing in my front driverside fender, but yeah


Nothing major, Drop, and blacked out taillights, Simple is the best
Rims shortly and then the outside is done besides maybe a lip lol

 

I know this is kind of old. But, how many cans did you use to shade your tails?

 

Depends on how dark you smoke it.
