I used the film tint instead, in case i changed my mind later down the road.

Mine only looks really light because the sun was hitting it directly.

That looks nice man! Mine aren't as dark as they look in my picture because there wasn't much light when I took the picture.

people take this tinting a lil to far in my opinion...i sanded my tails down and sprayed them with a few drops of black in the clear coat.. not to dark..
straight up black tails remind my of some sailor in a mustang..
