Default Taillight Tint

Have any of you blacked out all of the lights on the car (taillights, sidemarkers, and third brake light)? If so how did you do it? Pictures would be great if you have them Thanks

I prefer the smoother look of the acrylic(hard-VHB taped) tail light covers, RPI also sales these now... http://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=939

Thanks guys, what about this VHT nite shades. Is this stuff worth a crap? I want it to turn out perfect, no bubbles, etc. and I think the tint would do that.

If you want your tint to turn out perfect you only have one choice. contact Richard at Corvette Enhancements. His process applies a tint to oem lenses from your lights.

I used Ricards lights on my C5 tail, sidemarker and CHMSL and his work is fantastic. It is the best way to achieve perfect tinted tails. Anything else is just stuck on with adhesive be it film or VHB tape.
