    I prefer having a actually bodyshop do them vs using VHT tint but if VHT is done right it looks ok.

    Body shop clear/black mix

    vht works fine, its all in the prep and finishing work.

    search youtube for how to vids. very easy. does take a day to do them. it has to dry over night before you can wet sand and buff the final product.

    some pics in my sig of my tails. before, during after with night shots.

    vht, wet 2000 grit sand paper, a can of clear coat, some rubbing compound, 25 bucks = priceless.

    i only did two coats, as i didnt want them to be fully blacked out.

    F that. I paid like $50-70. You could always try a tint shop.
