Smoked Tail lights
I want to smoke my tail lights and am wondering how you get both tail lights, as well as the brake light in the middle right under the spoiler out so I can get it sprayed. Also, what is the best type of spray to use to get a nice shiny black look. Thank you very much.

I've only done the center light, and it's really easy to get out. You just use an interior trim removal tool and pop out all the fasteners on the inside of the trunkand remove the liner, then it's just undoing the wire harness and loosening two nuts. It's a 5-10 min job max.

I got my white part tinted too...but I'm getting bored of it and I think I w ant to get the white part white again and get the rest of the tail lights dark so theres only the white part. I went to a shop today and this guy has this dark vinyl stuff that he says will make my tails very nice and dark...

Like This? If the sun does not hit it directly like it does in that pic, it matches the paint job. You need to take it to a shop that specializes in something like this... because I've seen lights that didn't come out all that well. It is tinting spray that is later covered with clear coat. Nice and shiny finish.
