You can use tint. Some places online sell precut pieces, but most aren't any good.

If you use it lightly, VHT Night Shade works great, too.

You have to sand it down, then you can start over.

He does fantastic work. Although you'd have to be without your lights which isn't an option if you don't have another vehicle to use.

X2....he did all my painting for my tails, reverse light, headlights, 3rd brake light, cross bars, engine cover, STB's and brackets, and fuse box cover. his prices are really good too. he might have a set of tails or headlights that you could exchange yours for.

Paying sponsor or not, I can attest to the quality of Flip's tint work. Well worth it, IMO.

Relax man, nobody (besides Richie) moderates the LS4 Section anyway. There was never a link, a price, or a website dropped with information leading to a non sponsor. Just his name.

Since when are you the golden rule follower?
