Well ive had the car about two weeks and I Niteshaded my tails the other day and got a chance to take some pictures. I used the entire car of Niteshades and i did a few coats of clear. Any and all opinions welcome.













And because i figured someone would ask, here's a couple with the lights on. Couldnt get any with the brakes on because i was by myself taking the pictures.

Looks good, goes with the tinted windows. Only thing is you might wanna check the legality of them up there in Maryland.

yea defintely sweet and definitely not legal in NJ. but i dont care im gonna smoke mine out too. Did you remove the cover and spray on the underside or did you just spray it on top of the cover.. and for the reverse did you just tape a circle?? thanks

Thanks guys. I actually live in Pennslyvania, thats just a Maryland temp tag because thats where i bought the car. They probably arent legal, but im not too concerned. This is now the 4th car ive Niteshaded and ive never had it mention by a cop and ive been pulled over numerous times. Also never had a problem with inspection.

I painted them on the car, basically just taped off the entire back of the car. Little bit of sanding to rough them up a little so the paint would stick. And yes i just used tape to keep the reverse portion clear. Anyone have any other questions feel free to ask.

Took the antenna off. It cleans up the look, but beside that i NEVER listen to the radio so i dont need it so id rather just take it off then spend money on a shorte one.

I am wondeirng a few things about the tails you did on your tc. You said you sanded them so I was wondering what grit. I have 300 and think that that will work because I dont want to see the sanding. Also what kind of spray did you use?? I want my tails like those so I figured Id find out exactly how to do it. I fucked up pretty bad doing my third brakelight cuz the spray I used was very runny so I need the right spray for my tails and the brakelight as soon as is possible so I can sand that down and respray with good spray. Let me know, please and do the tails look runny or anything like that?? Thanks, JOE and from those pics they look so nice... and also how did you get a circle for the reverse lights?? Im debating whether to do that or spray them all or tape a "t" in one brake light and a "C" in the other
