Nice LIGHT tint on the tails. Also, job well done on the cutouts for the quad exhaust!

This has to be one of the funniest posts I've ever seen here.

I had mine done as well, and have posted pics at various times.

I really like mine...

Here is a picture I first shared...about 5 years ago...There are more pictures here at mbworld.

I lightly smoked these lights to look OEM and still have RED in them...like a new Jetta...

Thanks!

Mine are still really bright. I'll see if I can get some good pictures. Two coats of Nightshade, and then clear.

wow JC230 thats a gorgeous tint color im hoping when i get mine done they come out like that
when you get your tails smoked, do they ask/can you say how dark you want them? if so whats JC230's level (i mean i know how windows go 5/10/15% etc. but is smoking the tails the same kind of film? i'm not to sure on this stuff and dont want it coming out too dark or too light)
