Default Not your regular tail light tinting...

Okay so somewhere's on here someone mentioned something about a 3rd brake light part, the link was to AM, long story short, I was checking out the pictures and I stumbled upon this beauty:



I was wondering how one would pull something like this off.

I'm guessing some fancy tape work. Any helpful suggestions?

I was referring to a DIY project. I have some VHT night shade left in the can and I might be inclined to do this. I might just see if my buddy could put some tint into some clear coat and spray my taillights instead. I want them nice and shiny.

As far as the Tints go, Sean posted the only link that I know of other than eBay or something like that.

Thanks Sean.

Which one do you guys think looks better?

First Gen: Same size outline amongst each of the tri-bar tail light.

Second Gen: Each inside part of the outline is the same size, meaning more tint (sticker) on the outer tri -bar part of the tail light.

Default Windoiws tints

Putting window tinting unto consideration you can conserve a lot of energy by putting up well tinted car windows, affectivity ratings show a significant increase on battery and gas savings since you’re using minimal cooling or heating system with the use of windows tints. For example, solar control window tints moderates the sunlight entering your car while balancing your car temperature and capable of blocking up to 99% of UV rays. For each degree you raise or lower your thermostat, you can save anywhere from 1 to 5 percent on your battery and gas depending on where you live. Plus the known fact that well tinted windows has fewer tendencies to be carjacked, the better the tint the better your security is. You can find out more about window tints at www.TintBuyer.com. They provide relevant information about window tints such as its types, prices in the market, and help locate the best professional tinter near you.
