So I did one tail the other day, and figured I'd post up the difference, and how well it worked!

Nite



Doing the other tonight, actually just waiting for it to dry along with the front turns and side markers! can wait to see what it looks like

i got a set of smoked turns off ebay, and they look super nice

the nite shade is like a flat black, and may fade

Here are mine, done with a few very light coats of Nite-Shade.

they looks pretty awesome! are they still just as bright?

Yup, there is zero difference in visibility. It's a nice compromise IMO because they're not exactly dark, yet tinted enough to set them apart from stock tails.

heres mine
if it was all black it might look good

I used 3/4 of a can of niteshades and have a glossy finish...the key is to wipe the tail lite down good with rubbing alcohol and don't touch the lense after wiping it to avoid oily finger prints on it! and spray many lite coats and give it time in between to tack up before applying more lite coats!...for $12.00 made a big difference...you can use a gloss clear over it after 12-24 hours of drying...I think it will look good on your red car..

Thanks alot! really wanted to see it with the invader rear! (just put mine on) is there just any glossy finish? and does the glossy finish make it less visible at night? thanks-

How many light coats should be applied? on the back it says no more than 3 as visibility will be lessend. How many has everyone else done? thanks-

its up to how dark you want it. when i did mine we first painted it with just black paint and then took that off and used the tint paint, but like i said up to you

spoolski had a red car with tinted tails...it will look good dont worry

Mine are tinted as well

this is at night in a parking garage


and just regular


red and black will look good....just as said above...nice even light coats, and if you want them glossy you can always pick up a can of clear coat and use the same even light coat method..they will turn out great..dont worry

I just tinted my tails and put on my gas cap cover.
its rainy out, but I just wanted to get a picture up

i like that black gas cover

I think vincent still has some left in the FS section.

just be sure to keep the can far away...at least 12" and do VERY light coats...wait like 5 minutes and just spray over it again...you don't want any heavy coats on it or any drips!!!! I went really dark on mine and the visibility is still great with it!!! i will take a pic 4 u 2nite k?

I only did like 4 light coats and the tail is pitch black! but the light still comes through fine and one think cops will pull me over?

old pic of mine before i got my Curren's but i went a lil different direction with my old ones....
