Has anyone tinted their tail light? I've been thinking about it but im not sure with the visability being limited already (not complaining). Just wondering if anyone was having trouble reversing at night with the tint?

yea there is one guy in Florida with a white CRZ who did. My tint guy was telling me, they got some kind of Spray from Japan is the best way to go, but the stuf is illegal in the states now. When I go to San Diego, I'm gonna have some of my Mexican hommies check out in TJ and see if they can get it for me.

Baha sweet. Well everyone raves about nightshades I've seen some diy vids and the results are pretty nice. I've also seen the vinyl cut outs.

I was thinking about tinting the headlights a lil. Not too dark. I've been wanting to start this project but texas weather is out of control right now

I think I am going to do it.

I think a blacked out z would be effin sweet. I wanna put the led lighting then tint them.

The pre-cut films havnt been working too well so it seems.

No one is taking account for the protrusion on the outer sides of the tails

Not my cup of tea although I do think it looks good. Just not sure about the safety aspect.

Anyway, here are some other threads:

Just got my CRZ tonite, but I had my favorite bodyshop do it to my 370Z:

They are LED lights, but they look just as bright as before tinting, even in the daytime.
