Should I Keep or Lose The Niteshade?

my taillights are starting to fade some and I need to re-do them..but i was wondering if i should get rid of the niteshade altogether or re-niteshade and leave the clear for the reverse light or leave them as is.

so what do you guys think?

Highest you can go if you want. 600-800. It wont take too long even with that grit. But you def need to tape off the reverse lights. GOod luck.

i suggest going back to non-tinted taillights for a clean appearance on your car.
