I thought about doing this. Its only 18 bucks or whatever. If it works as well...wth...

They look good to get for your car. Just hope they stay on...sry i had to edit post, i clicked on link and realized they were nothing like those other kinds of taillight films. I think those are pretty nice, those almost remind me of what Tbat has possibly?

yeah, i mean its pre cut for our cars and what not. but idk im a stupid high school kid who is sold easily...

Those look really good I think they would be worth it if your dieing for that tinted tail look.

This site is our vender for gpona.com. I have brought this stuff before like my windshield decal. Other members got other decals too. They are happy with them. I'm not sure someone buy that because mostly they love FLIP's tint tail job lol

The Decal is nice because it isn't essentially illegal although not likely you will get busted for tails it is possible with the VHT if you get it dark enough. Regardless of weather you get the decal or VHT nightshade or any other option I would recommend the 3457 bulb replacement in your taillights.

Good luck getting it to look nice with all of the waves in our tails. That pic looks really good, though. Go for it.

yeah but i cant see spending 75 to tint tail lights when i have a hood/bumper and rocker panel to get painted. not to mention the exhaust sitting in my room dying to get put on. btw CarX only wants 50-100 to weld the whole thing up! and little do they know i have a $20 coupon to use haha

The curves in our taillights are very hard to put any sort of vinyl on. If you haven't had any experience of putting on vinyls I wouldn't recommend it. If you do put the vinyl on make sure you do the following:

1. Clean the taillight very well using a non ammonia based cleaner.

2. Get a spray bottle with majority water with a few drops of baby shampoo (shake just a bit)

3. Undo the backing on the vinyl and lay the vinyl down softly onto the wet surface of the taillight and adjust so it fits on their perfect (apply any more water/baby shampoo that is needed for perfect fitment, dont allow to dry)

4. Once in position use a credit card or squeegee to remove the water/air bubbles. Make sure the vinyl is pushed up against the taillight to ensure that once it dries it will make contact with the taillight.

5. Allow to dry a bit and remove air/water bubbles that remain and you will have a nice vinyl placed.


Anyone that doesn't think this is right correct me if i'm wrong, I at least know this is what you do for glass vinyls...

13 bucks for a can of nightshades. tint your own tails.

if i nightshade them how do i do it. i mean i have painted stuff before, but i really dont want to mess these up...

And then buy clearcoat, and something to wetsand with.

wetsand them until they are milky looking and then clean them and do as many coats of nightshades you want to acheive the darkness you want then clear coat them to protect the tint, and then let them sit for a bit before putting them back on, make sure they are dry so you dont get any fingerprints in the tint. i have 3 coats on mine and they are fairly dark.




Honestly its not that hard to do youreself, just dont overspay and get runs in it and youll be fine, just prep the surface good enough.

any suggestions on sand paper size, and the order to do everything in? those tails look sick btw...

Im in the process of finishing up another set. Theres probably a write up but ill fill ya in a little bit.

Basically, hit it up with sand paper so it has something to stick to.

Spray away with nice light even coats of VHT. (do both at the same time so they are both the same)

Keep putting coats on until they are the tint you want them.

Spray a few coats of clear until shes covered pretty good.

Wait a day, and wetsand with 2000 if needed and then polish them up.
