Taillight Tint Options?
Hey everyone!
So I finally was able to pick up a pair of OEM tails and they are on their way. I want to smoke/ tint them though. So my question for you all was; What is the best cheap way to go about tinting/ smoking them. Should I go for the Tint spray? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VHT-NITESHAD...eed6ef&vxp=mtr Or should I go for a tint overlay like this one below? http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-08-350Z-S...ht_2500wt_1218 OR if neither of these options are preferred, please feel free to let me know how I should go about doing it. I just want to order whatever I am going to end up getting quick so it will all get here about the same time. Thanks everyone! -Phil |
Many are gonna chime in saying don't do it!
However as of late I've like it when it's fading and not completely tinting the whole cover! like so! |
Don't like tail tint.But,if you are gonna do,use vinyl.You can always remove.
I have smoke tint on my backups.Consider doing these too if you do the tails. Front reflectors also look good with smoke tint. |
none is best
|
I only like tint on the reverse/turn signal lights. The Z's taillights are too unique to cover up
|
ok so can anyone direct me to a link for smoke tinting for the front and rear blinker's?
Thanks a lot everyone! I do like how the Nismo had like a vignette style tint where just the edges are tinted.. but I have no idea how to do that! |
If you insist on doing this mod stay away from Ebay

I used nite shades on my tail lights. They're not too much darker than stock but I think they look good

Untinted is best , but if you must go for the 80's look , go really really light , where it just makes it a darker red

Looks good to me! Ill look up the night shades more. That srt 8 jeep is sick too :D
:icon38: that's my buddies. He had it tuned and it poops all over the Z. |
the vht night shades with clear coat is the way I do it. you can always take it off and make the lights look better then new if you dont like it and it wont cost to much $. I ended up taking mine off in the long run

If you're good with spray paint it's easy to do, if you aren't I'd ask a buddy to help who is good with it to help or just do the tint strips.
:icon38: that's my buddies. He had it tuned and it poops all over the Z. But I've decided that I want to not tint the tails but to tint the blinkers on the front and rear of the car. Should I still go with the spray on those? Or should I buy tint stripes from a website? If so I need a good pre cut link thanks! :D |
Vinyl is the only way to go. Trust me.

Too dark can look weird on some cars. |

Agreed.

if you really must insist on doing this get the lightest tint possible. anything too dark will not look good on your chameleon color.
