So I saw an eclipse today who flat blacked his tail lights, signals, etc. I don't think the light will get through the flat black paint well enough, but has anybody tried that tint stuff on them?

Woa, that looks good, what did you use? I'm definitely niteshading the whole front, still in the air about red or black for the rear tails. Not sure what would look best on a red celi.
