I used regular 20% window tint. Took me 1 to 1.5 hours to do. (had trouble with the tint on the first light) This cost me $10 + time. To pay someone to paint it, the right way would run you about $100 for tails and another $40 for front TS in my area. Sorry for the large pictures. I dont know how to resize them, once downloaded. 1. Remove your grill, 5 screws-philips head 2. Remove the head lamp which is held in with 3 10mm bolts. then unplug the harness.  3. Remove the 3 bulbs from the turnsignal and 2 9/32 bolts  4. Push inward on the lamp with medium strength is tough to pull out.   5. Apply your tint to the light, work out your bubbles and trim. 6. Reverse the process to put back in. Careful not to scratch it. Finished...  |

hmm...how long do you think it will last since its just window tints and its on the outside...looks really good...i might just go and get some to do it cheap for now since the VHT spray cost more money...how transparent is it? good enough to be legal?

I think it should be good for the year, till the salt stones come. I think thats getting my moneys' worth. And I dont think clearing it would make any differance. Its not bad as far as transparency but after it got dark and can see how well...I'd use 35% just so you can see it better in the night.

wow your pretty thorough... i did mine with the signals still in the car (didn't remove it from the car itself) and trimmed with a penknife.
Tip: use lots of soapy water from a spray dispenser.

Looks good.....btw what happen to your front lip? I broke that 2 weeks after I got it. This gives me an excuse to get a new front clip...the versus kit. |

Wouldn't getting some VHT Nightshades be an easy, long term alternative?
Would you guys like me to set up a group buy on it??

Plus you'd have to pay shipping twice, once to the one buying and another time for each person.
