Your choices range from vinyl stick ons to VHT NightShades spray to plastic covers (flat or contoured) or send yours in to have them professionally done.

You pay your $$ and make your choice.

I went with the smoke gray flat covers on the rear and VHT Nightshades spray on the side markers.

i would highly suggest getting your lenses spray tinted. those "covers" being sold here on the forum is a good cheap way to get it done, but trust me, they look like crap over time. i had the covers and they got really scratched up over the yrs. not to mention, they scratched the paint around the covers due to the constant moving/vibrations.

after the spray tint job, they look fantastic and shiney!!! light passes thru the paint better then the covers. keep that in mind.

I would get your lights tinted rather than put blackouts on. I have some blackout that I took off because they were so dark that people couldn't see my lights. Wasn't very safe at all. Here is what my tinted lights look like.

I have the exoticvette kit and its decent. I just wish the markers came with it. Now I have to order the rear markers to finish the kit.And they have to come form a different company.
