Pic Request: Blacked Tail Lights
Does anyone have a pic of a CL(preferably NBP) with blacked out tail lights with the back up lights left clear? Thanks a lot.

Its actually not that dark its just the sun, Ive never been pulled over for it. You can see the lights from far away when breaking at day or night. I put on 4 coats to make it look like that

I've been considering the same setup on NBP, was afraid it would be too much black, but would love to see pics. BTW, I had this done to my SSM cl before, I have to say, let a bodyshop spray with clearcoat over the tint spray and let them buff it, it ends up looking so much more clean and professional looking.

I didnt use night shade, I used some other product that already had clear coats in it. But if your using night shade start out with 3 coats and see if you like it that way and then maybe add a another coat.If you add too many coats you might get pulled over because it too dark. But you have to do a few clear coat after or they will look flat black and have no gloss to it. Clear coats should be around 3-4 to look real good.

As for the tails, I like the dark version, but not too dark, just enough to see a little maroon in the unlit tails. And then a clear coat over the black to top it off.
