I've been wanting to smoke my taillights. My friends told me he knew how to do it but i saw how he did his Integra and my other bud's Cavalier...and it looks really dull. I want to do it but make sure it looks good...like the glossy look:) Is that hard to do...or is my friend just not good at it? lol.

Oh! im also thinking about front light covers. I'm thinking about getting some GTS covers i found on andysautoparts. What shade would look best...and would i have problems with those here in Texas? kindasad.gif

i would just clean them really well and then spray the tint on them...if you dont think they are glossy enough after using the tint then you can go and get a spray can of clear coat...sold at pep boys, autozone, napa, whatever....spray a light even coat of clear over them and they will look real good
