Got bored with the look of the car, and i decided it was time for a change. With the help of my dad, i tinted my headlights, and tailights. Let me know what u guy think

We used a transparent black basecoat, and then cleared them. To my surprise, they still light up real nice through the transparent black.

It is Nason basecoat made by Dupont.

Damn, it's not like that car isn't already sick as hell, but it would be perfect with a set of gunmetal colored wheels.

looks great, are you going to lower it or keep it up like that?

 

[carbed89notch]

Thanks for the compliments guys..I am planing on lowering it when i get back from vacation in a couple weeks. Im thinking about a 1" drop. What do u guys think?

Awesome! how much did it cost? One of my brakelights is out I thought id take advantage of it and get new lesnses, I had always wanted to tint them, ive seen VHT nightshades but that looks alot better, how mcuh? and how did you do it.

full tint on the windsheild would complete the look.

Cost was about $40 in product.(helps to work in a bodyshop) First i sanded the lights with 1500grit wet sand paper, then we mixed up some Nason transparent black basecoat, made by Dupont. The tricky part was to get it to the level of darkness u are looking for. You also want to make sure its even or else it will look blotchy. The transparent black is like a candy, so the more layers u apply, the darker it'll get. After achieving the darkness i was looking for, the clearcoat was then applied.

k sweet thanks for the details. Seems just like the VHT stuff but ive seen pics of VHT and the quality of that looks better, then again I guess its all in the prep

I had smoked tails like that, cop pulled me over and gave me a ticket....$110. Actually the fine was for both the tinted tails & tinted side windows.
Be warned...... Looks good though
