What do you think of my freshly tinted tails?

Yesterday I tinted my tails using VHT Nite Shades. I think they came out pretty good. Ignore the scuff on the bumper. Some idiot hit and ran my car and I have yet to get it fixed

Looks nice, but how bright are your lights?

If I had money I probably would change the rims. The lights come through bright enough for people to know that I am turning and slowing down during the day.

I was thinking about taking off the ES but I am a little worried about the paint around it being more faded.

you'll be fine on the debadge.... if there is any fading, just use any color restoration stuff that car shops sell. I like the tails, but would get ticketed so fast in my area of illinois that my head would spin.

The taillights look good. I have thought about doing this myself. How many coats of the VHT Nite Shades did you use.

Also, I wouldn't worry about your wheels, at least they look better than stock.

makes it look very different from the back. It's as if there weren't any tail lights...

yeah, straight on from a distance it looks like there isnt any. I want to do that to just the blinker and reverse light part but im scared that it wouldnt come out even.. How easy is it to get the coats even with the stuff?
