Finally Tinted My Lights ! So my car has always been stock looking with the exception of Window tint. Since it has some down time in between the motor rebuild and winter, I decided to tint the lights. Check out the pics, I put two showing what it used to look like. I am pretty satisfied. Didnt want to go too dark on the tails. I will also be getting new rims/tires, 17" and lowering it.
I used the following:
- VHT night shades
- Rust Oleum Crystal clear
- 3M 1000 grit wet sand paper
- McGuires rubbing compound

98greenz28, I used about 3 coats. I let it dry between coats about an hour. When you wet sand it makes it a little lighter also. I was debating on tinting them and dont want to get pulled over, the car is already an cop catcher with the window tint and it being loud.

They probably need a little more polishing, got all winter for that. I cant believe how good the wet sand and rubbing compound works, first time doing it too.
