www.autobadges.com
they have 50% and black out....and theres another place but i forget...
im getting black outs

stang00 · 12-29-2005, 06:55 PM

autobadges.com has them

they take about 30 mins for me and my friend to do them

put soap and water in a spray bottle and spray the tint slightly to be able to move them around until they fit where u want them

the kit comes with this blue squiggy thing u press it up against the tint and get all the water and soap out of the tint and let it dry for a couple of hours

it fits perfect to our tailights and looks amazing after it is all said and done

bikerjoe · 12-29-2005, 06:57 PM

thats how i did the others but it was a pain with those lights i can only imagine with ours

stang00 · 12-29-2005, 07:03 PM

its really not that bad
allot easier with a friend so he can hold it in place so it does not slide with the curves of our tailights

Mine did'nt come with any tools and I did it dry.I just took my time and was very carefull.It took about a week for all of the little bubbles to go away.Would have been easier if it was warmer than 35 when I did mine but I can never wait to install anything.Got mine from autobadges.com too.

Badfish · 12-29-2005, 07:59 PM

ur not supposed to do it dry :P

best method is soap and water with the squeegy thing

pimpmustangGT · 12-29-2005, 08:40 PM

That is retarded.... I hope you didnt pay 65.00 for 5.00 worth of tint... geez go to walmartand by a roll for 10.00 and do your whole rear end and headlights... thats just a freaking rip off 65.00 ..... damn :stupid:

These are 6 pieces. One for each flat surface of the taillight. I'm getting 50%.

Badfish · 12-29-2005, 09:05 PM

thats a good price...i payed 60 dollars for mine...hope the saying " you get what you pay for" doesnt apply there

*Lances03SVT* · 12-29-2005, 09:34 PM

I've heard that the one's from Ebay don't fit right and have to be trimmed.

Badfish · 12-29-2005, 09:53 PM

just like the jews!

lord i apologize..

whitethunder46 · 12-29-2005, 09:53 PM

Its worth saving 40 bux if all i have to do is cut a lil off the edges.

*Lances03SVT* · 12-29-2005, 09:54 PM

That's true.

pimpmustangGT · 12-30-2005, 02:08 AM

you dont get it... its window tint... any moron could trim it with a fresh razor around the lights... geez save your money and do it yourselves its really not that complicated :dots:

timstpetefl · 12-30-2005, 07:14 AM

a buddy of mine used some spray stuff, cost him like $9, did it a year ago and it still looks awesome, can also be used on the headlights.

Yea I saw a taillight like that and it looked pretty good for just a few bucks. I dont know if I would like the tinted taillights or not. Where do you get that spray tint stuff at?

timstpetefl · 12-30-2005, 11:14 AM

Ill ask him tonight, the thing is you can put as dark as you like, it take about 3-4 coats to get a blackout look, so one or two passes would prolly give you a nice darker tint. Im gunna get whats left of his can tonight, Ill give ya the name when I do.

swervo · 12-30-2005, 03:22 PM

i've had both. The overlay from autobadges and the spray on. I like the spray on alot better, it looks alot cleaner up close. I had mine professionally sprayed by tintmytaillamps.com. Might be a little more expensive, but they did a hell of a job on my tail lights and 3rd brake light.

pimpmustangGT · 12-30-2005, 11:38 PM

yea where do they sell the spray? - thanks

pimpmustangGT · 12-30-2005, 11:40 PM

BTW- does the spray effect your headlight color/range - i have purple HIDS and i dont want screw over that investment
