i can buy them on ebay..perfectly sized up for my zx3..
anyone knows how to glue them on? with what? how?

 

[docsmith1]

I wouldn't even mess with that Ebay trash, unless it is Laminix. I used a can of Nightshade for my tails, came out really good. There is a how to in the Exterior mods section.

I know plenty of guys in florida who run niteshade and have never had an issue. Because it lets much of the red through during the day and lets more then enough out at night.

thanks 4 the website ill look into it...
but do u think it'll b hard to put on the precut tail light tints?
n r those leagal?

 

[Riverratrider]

I have heard that it is actually harder to get the precut ones to stay on right, or at all. Sometimes the "precut" isn't right, or there are bubbles, and it fades after a while too. None of those problems are gonna happen with the nightshade. The nice thing with nightshade is if you mess up, hit it with a wet sand and 800 grit and let it dry then do it again.

Niteshade FTW [cool]

i got my tint spray off ebay.. £10 and came out fine, still havent faded or anything... i put lines in mine too make them different, u can kind of see them in this pic...

 

[J-Dub]

yo can u send me a good link to the spray?
sry im jus new n not realy familiar wit much

 

[danny_69r]

this was the stuff i got...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-TAIL-LI...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

(this is an english 1 as i am english but im sure the american stuff should be the same)
but when i did it i just took them out and washed them down then sprayed them i didnt sand them down, if i were to do them again i would sand them down to get the best finish. and it also says to only do around 3 or 4 coats i had to do about 10 before they looked dark and i used a hair dryer after i had sprayed just to speed up the process.

hope this helps

here u go i found the exact same one on the US ebay...

Here's a link to a FF vendor Massive Speed Systems. I don't like ebay, and the guys at Massive have been great to work with

And you should only need 2 coats (3 tops) with this stuff.

here is my car with the pre-cut tint on my tails:

 

[danny_69r]

this is 1 of my lights up close, u can spray the hole light obviously which i think now would look better but i thought ide be different and put stripes and the police r tight about stuff like tinting lights around here so i wanted to be certain . this was just the £8 can of spray.
