Default Hit... even better with tinted windows, smoked corners, etc.

using tint spray out of a can isn't too bad... you can always use paint remover to get the tint off... but I've also heard of good results with the tint film.... let us know how it turns out!

Loooks better on dark cars IMO. If I could 'tint' them silver well, that'd be dabomb.

Default I considered doing mine myself . . .

but thought better of it. I purchased an extra set of tail lights on eBay and am having them done by the guys at the link below. For my car, I am going with the light/medium tint and will pop them in for "special occasions" but run with the stock tails for everyday use.<ul><li><a href="http://www.jonstintedtails.com/">Jon's Tinted Tails</a></li></ul>

Default i got that

Not bad from a distance but I've always intended on going back and painting. Actually have NiteShades in the mail now. Film is not a bad choice tho, especially if you are not sure.
