tail light tint

6.0goat · 10-02-2007, 09:07 PM

Has anyone tinted their tail lights? I'm just curious to know how it turned out and if it looks good. There are several pre cut tint vendors on ebay such as this one:

Yea, I did mine with one of those tint kits off eBay.... Can't remember the sellers name.... Pretty easy install.....

I attempted to install something similar......I just got a bunch of wrinkles and the vinyl ended up in the trash.

Hey 6.0,
A buddy of mine just had his done and they look great.
If you're on ls1gto.com send a PM to Toyz, and get the info from him. If you're not on that board, PM me and I will get the info for you.

Here is a pic I found:

Hey UGOTGTO, your car has been on my desktop for about a week now. Love the racing stripes. I think I will order the tint and try it out. Did you have any installation problems? Just wet and stick on?

I like them. In PA they would no way pass inspection. Unless they are removable, they'd have to come off to pass or the glue ons, keep reinstalling new ones plus a not so friendly cop may stop you and cite you.
just my .02

I don't know if it would work, but I have a "tint exemption" due to a condition I have with my eye. It will be interesting to see what a cop or inspection would say about that. I realize it's goofy but I suppose it would be worth trying, hehe. I ran tinted covers on my z28 for almost four years....stopped many times but never once did the cops mention anything about it.

WOW... All this time I thought my car has been in my garage, now I found out it's been on your desktop (lol)..... Thanks.... I like the stripes, too. I purchased them from AutoTrim Design and installed them myself.... As for the tail light tint, it takes a little time and patience, not just wet and stick... You will need to use a hair dryer to warm the tint up a little bit to get around the curvature of the tail light and a squeege to remove the water.... Just take your time and don't get pissed off while doing the install... It should come out just fine....

Do you have a website for AutoTrim design? How much were the stripes? I have a quick silver as well.
