Don't do it. It presents a hazard to the motorists behind you and it'll get you ticketed. Plus, its pretty ricey.







hardly..... i've never gotten any tickets and you can see mine PERFECTLY theres no way in the world you couldnt see them..

True, true....If i were you i'd google it sence there are some nice reads on sanding them down etc, etc, to give them that shiny look that is so desired. Sounds like a lot of work but it's better then the 75 bills Baywash wanted to charge me i suppose.(I guess i should get around to doing it then)

Yeah you sprayed a LOT!

I have VHT on my tailights, but it isn't much. you can still see the outline of the brake, turn, and reverse lights. It looks darker in the pictures for some reason. Here are some old pictures of it (back when the body kit was on it).

i used the hobby shop paint ,and after about two months of being in the sun and being washed weekly it starts to look like complete shit.
so go with tint or something specified to withstand the elements.
