i used the same product that deyainrdy4ds used to do his tails. its called VHT night shades. i just used 2 light coats. the picture came out looking much darker that it really is because it was late in the evening when the pictures were taken.

You just put a very large target on your car for the popo. In most states, tinting the windshield or headlights is illegal for street use.

I had the same thing done to my car too. I had to take them off when I got a ticket. But still looks good.

that was actually a film. it wasnt just smoked either, it was toatally black!!! but it was able to transmit most of the light though. wierd stuff. it got from a company that sells it on a website called stickercity.com. it was F@#KING hell to put on!!!!! you had to keep squeegying out a million little bubbles. i absolutely do not recommend you do it yourself if you go this route!!!! i was lucky that after 5 1/2 hours i got them all out with a heat gun. the spray is so much easier. i mean SO MUCH EASIER.
i actually just took the film off and did my tails with the spray just now. its too dark to take a picture. ill post some tomorrow.
