Ive done a few tail light in my time with different types of tinting and the best way that ive found is to use a cup gun and mix 1 part black and 2 parts clear coat , wet sand tail lights with 1000 grit and spray . the more coats the darker they get . i use around 2 to 3 light coats.

Oh. How big a job to remove the fascia? Really like the looks but did not want to have to take back of car apart.

I am sure they meet regulations or they will not be on the car when it rolls down the assembly line.

Not hard, bolts along top inside, underneath and wheel wells....search here, there are a few DIY'S, more on my build thread....

These were done on the car - no fascia or bezel removal - no sanding or clearcoat - just follow the video instructions

I don't think they are smoked Joe. I read somewhere that the ZO6 lens were described as colorless. I like them smocked better so I hope they look dark in person.

You can kind of see it in this pic: Pretty significant difference between this pic and the one in the post above.

Include me as one to agree with your opinion, above. WTF! The lights are there for a very good reason! The car is small, the car is low .... Add rain or fog or foggy tail lights and your Vette is road kill! Just my opinion, but... Very stupid to dumb down your tail lights no matter how cool or badass they may look!
Count me out on this one unless someone runs across some halogen tail lights. ... Now THAT would be interesting!

Good removal of rear here

Paul, could very well be colorless. I thought I heard someone(Tadge?) mention that they were smoked, but could be wrong on that account.

One thing I have noticed with the photos of the Z06, is that both the red outer and the white center on the base cars, disappears with the Z06's taillights.

Here is a set we just did for a customer.
