I guess that's what I get for doing them in the direct sunlight! Oh well, 4th car blacked out, only got ticketed once (living in Ontario) in over 5 years of having tinted tails.



The car was very dirty on the back making the contrast seem off. It looks great after a wash

Job was done by myself, 4 coats Nightshades, 3 coats clear.

Total cost = $34
Total time = 1.5hrs

Very happy with the outcome! Will post more pics after window tints!

Do you have a picture with the car on or with the brake depressed?

I'll take more pics tomorrow. I did try it at the time I took the pic in the direct light, and it was visible both with the brake depressed as well as just with the lights on. The indicators are hella bright still as well. At night its very bright, I will take pics of both.
