Default Pics of Smoked out tail lights

I just ordered a pair of 20% tail light overlays. I want to see for sure what they will look like before they get here. Anyone got any pics? I already know what the 38%'s look like though so just show me 20%'s

I have painted as well... not a big overlay fan myself... the tinting from www.jonstintedtails.com is just solidly the best IMHO... super glossy and as dark or light as you wish, with a lot of examples from a lot of different cars....

Mine are the darkest he does... and look AMAZING and totally uniform across the light when the tails are on, which is REALLY tough to get with a hand done Nightshades tint..... He uses PPG Paints and Clears, which just turn out super spiffy.



Use my pictures all you want! I got tons of em! LOL

I hate it when people off ebay steal other people's pics and call it their own. That happened to me several times in the past. It wasnt until people on the forums contacted me about it that I was even aware of it!

hmm thats not a bad price, I might have to look into that after I decide that my vinyls suck.

Sweet shot, my cousin has those rims on his black audi tt. Do you get pulled over a lot for those tail lights?

That's if you want whole new tails custom tinted... I paid 85 plus shipping to have mine done and returned.

Yeah.... I've not seen a nightshades setup even close to as glossy as mine, thus why I didn't try my own spray skills and went with the pros.... My front reflectors I did myself (Nightshades) with matte results... no way was I going to risk my tails to that outcome.

It's REALLY hard to get that glossy look to a tinted tail setup in a DIY mode.... some may be able to pull it off, but my money is on Jons... just good stuff.
