Tinting Taillights
Does anyone know the laws on tinting your taillights? Im thinking about doing it, but i dont want to get nailed by the cops if it is illegal. any help will be much appreciated.
mumbles has his smoked out (painted), and my friend has his taillights smoked, I dont think they had any problems. My friend has had his for about 3 years and no tickets yet. But when you say tint, do you mean like using window tint?

not window tint, the vht nightshade stuff that you spray on.Originally Posted by obd1kenobi
do u think 1 can will do the job?
yeah theres nothing against it becuase some cars come from the factory like that and plus i have had any probs and ive been stopped b4
I got dinner to goto.
Ive had mine for a year and a half with no problems from the cops
no problems here
I don't believe it is illegal, but if you go too dark your a dumbass. no1 can see your brake lights. Those GTO covers are stupid and dangerous.

r71 does a lot of them for customers. No one has had problems in the past 5 years, but I'm not sure how they fit in "legally". My RX7 has "black" taillights from the factory, so I doubt that there is in any law banning it.

i guy next door at the body shop got the painter to paint his tail lights black and it looks awesome.

get them professionally done...this is my second set that I just got done a few months ago after a minor rear-ending...I can give you the number of the shop that did them for me...don't do the Nite Shades thing...it will look dull...it is very hard to buff them out and get a clear shiny look with that stuff...I have been stopped twice and never been hasslled by the cops for them...

i had my beama blacked out and drove in front of cops a shit load of times....neva got pulle dover or anything
Got vinyl on mine (Black cherry tc), looks good, almost has a color matched look at night. I didn't want to paint them until I've decided I wanted the look perminent (painted). I know the Vinyl will probably lighten up within the next two years, but I like the look for now. Go ahead and "git-r-done" (PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED)
"OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE LOSING"
Not our vinyl. It's a 5-year outdoor Oracal film. And the only thing that happens to it after 5 years is it becomes a bit less flexible. And this does not matter for tail lights. So you'll be just fine for a long long time

So where is this available
imo dont get nightshades, get some one to paint it
Val for President
i know they have spray but were???
I've done quite a few with nightshades and they all hold up and look great. I do clear coat them though and they come out looking the same as the pics everyone's posted. I've had lights painted by our painter and I can hardly tell the difference between his and mine except he charges more.
so were can i find this shit!!!!!!
If you want Nightshades stop being ignorant and do a search on the internet. If you need a tutorial on that then go take a class because I don't have time to hold your hand and walk you through the simple steps of not being retarded.
what i'm sayin is theres no store that carries this shit??
Not that I've found. Summit is where I've ordered it from and in a few weeks their new warehouse should be open and you can pick it up there.

yea, i got mine from summit. if the new place is open, you can get it there

NOOO summit. Go ebay. Much cheaper. Off summit their cans are 12.99 a can plus like 7 bucks shipping plus 20 bucks for "dangerous chemicals" shipping fees. I got 2 cans off ebay for 25 shipped to my house.
I'm pretty sure Autodreams has it and it was like 9 or 10 bucks plus u don't have to wait or pay for shipping
Where is auto dreams? Ive heard of it but never actrullly seen it.
you can get to it from Barrett or Chastain road.

Get them done at Area 41...They did mine on saturday and it looks damn good.
PM black paper diary he did mine and i bet hes cheaper than anywhere else
Val for President
i think the rule is when there on at night they have to be seen from 200 yards
yeah there is a law against it, my friend had them done in an AE86 and was ordered to remove em. Im not entirely sure what all the specifics were
how much do shops charge for this to be done professionally?
Area 41 charged me 100 bucks together for both tail lights.
you can do the nightshades stuff, but i highly recommend clear cloating them!! i've done a few sets nightshade/clear and they good
AIM & Y!: CogcaviZ24
100 bucks ain't bad.. depends on the size of the tail light itself?
