Actually the nite shade looks really good, my friend did it to his Civic Si and it looks fantastic, but i would still say what SC said to do, you have to take alot of precautions with the nite shade

The price includes both corners.

We have the lights in our facility for the work for about 2-3 days. Shipping time varies to and from, so that you will need to estimate.

The phone is medium tint.

I'm doing my tails next month when I have some stuff paid off.
I've done at least 10 cars with vht nightshades.
If you follow the tutorials on how to do it with prep work, sand paper, clear coat, and polish; it looks amazing.
We did my buddies cobalt yesterday and they look like mirrors.

Before doing this, you might want to check your local laws.
I have heard of some people getting tickets for doing this. Sounds a little weird to me, but you never know.

With the spray you can decide how risky you want to run. Pick your own shade.
I have a friend with an srt4 that got the tails professionally tinted with the film. About 2 weeks later he got a 150 dollar ticket and was told to remove them. I had the tails on my cavalier spray tinted a little bit lighter of a shade for like 6 months and pulled over numerous times. The police never said anything.

Anybody use any of the vinyl tints? I think thats what I would like to do eventually. It's cheaper than having it done professionally, and it isn't permanent. I'd also do the tail lights, the reverse lights, the brake light, and the side marker lights all at once, so I'd have to get just a roll and cut it myself.

Which would you recommend buying? I've seen quite a few sites selling them. Also if you have day and night pics, that would be great.
