theres a trader on here sells em... forgot which one
yeh i was actually looking for it.. he sold some sort of dye wasn tit
depends what kind of tint your after... theres the spray ons that come in just the black
and theres the film ones the trader was selling.
just a reminder that these are an easily noticable defect item....
supersheep use to sell it
was called "nightshades"
and it goes on the outside just lightly sand back with wet and dry make sure u mask up, and spray light coat by light coat
i dunno how it really works but a gues from tafe had it on his 180sex told me thats what he did, umm yea, should most likely
be a procedure on the can.
saw a commodore earlier on today with fully black lights looked dodgirama probly used black spray paint...
Hi, i used Night Shades on my tails (as per my Avatar - it used to be a chrome look). cost me $20 from Super Cheap. I wouldnt do the heads for obvious reasons (i've seen cars with tinted heads - just dont think its a good idea for night driving). If u want the heads tinted, then get a pair of headlight covers for your car and tint them instead so u can use it during the day and take it off at night.
by the way, each tail was around 3 coates. I probably wouldn't go more than 2 coates, if I could do it again. cars behind me seem to have a problem seeing my blinkers during the day, obviously since its tinted then the blinkers are not as bright. i was told u could get higher voltage bulbs to compensate.
hey thanks dude.. ill give that a go..
do u need to open it up? or spray on top? does it fade? how do ya remove it :D
place your mums stockings arround them
just spray on top. make sure its really clean (i just used meth to clean). it hasnt faded, i've had it on for almost a year now. i dont know how to remove though. i had an extra pair of tails as my guinea pigsQuote:

oh yeh nice thanks dude.. hmm i guess i gta find out how to remove them ;D incase i dont like it
