Blackout Options?
I am wondering what blackout options people know about. There has to be a reasonably priced solution for blackouts that looks clean.
I just ordered, and will most likely have for sale a 9-piece blackout kit from Exotic Vette. I know many people on the forum have installed these and are very happy with them, but the fit/finish isn't to the caliber that I expected. On the other hand I don't want to pay over $300 to ship off my lights for treatement.
I have seen other blackout kits that are a carbon fiber look and stick to the plastic, they are very thin and look very clean. The problem is I can't seem to find these for sale anywhere.
The other option that I have found is Nite Shades. This seems like the way to go, the only problem is you can't take it off.

A thread I posted on my complete blackout kit from Corvette Enhancements a few months ago. Excellent quality.

You can order a couple cans of nite shades from midamerica and spray the lights that you want to black out. When you find a happy medium on the shade take them to a body shop and let them clear coat them. They will turn out nice. My brother done this on his 02 Trans Am and they turned out really good. You should not be out no more than $100.00 Hope this helps.
