Vinyl tinting the stock tail lights
Just wanted to see what the other FitFreaks thought...
I used vinyl tint and it is not perfect when you get up close but I think it looks pretty good for the price.






I left the brake lights untinted for safety/legal reasons.

I have never personally used tint, only nightshades spray but in your pictures it looks damn impressive.

It looks like you did a good job. It was $12 you said right? Good mod.

For vinyl tint (still have some left over), some application spray, & shipping it was $27.

I'm sure you could probably do it for cheaper but it was low enough for me.

I plan on getting a black license plate frame that covers up everything except for the state name and plate numbers. I've checked state laws and they will allow frames to cover up to half the state name but thats kinda dumb looking imo. I'll post something up when I get one cut out.
