well, what do you mean?
if you mean spray painting the outsides a niteshade, then no.

but if you mean opening up the tail lights to include intricate details, then yes.


also, fuck people's opinion. fuck my opinion. Do what ever you think is cool!!!

Here's my Maxima with niteshades. That's about 4 passes. Won't be going that dark with the TL



I think it will complement the blackout emblems as well

Tinted taillights are not my cup of tea. Especially that dark, you're risking people not being able to see your car at night and I prefer contrast and not the "murdered out" look, just my opinion.

I really like Dopeboy's car!

For instance my taillights, chrome trim under trunk and reflectors are all wrapped.

I definitely know what you're saying about other's not seeing you at night. But I have really bright LEDs in the max so they light up good. But I did go a little too dark.

Doesn't matter how bright the lights are. If someone rear ends you, your insurance will deny coverage since the tail-lights have been modified to non-road legal.

All the more reason to wrap them. You can just pull it off before insurance sees it lol

^but hopefully your instagram name isnt on the side of your car, self incriminating!

happened to my coworker, she got sideswipped by a dude going 100+ and when he wrecked from losing control, he had his instagram name posted on the side of the car...
All of this evidence of him posting prior to the crash....going 100mph+, doing idiotic things...all for the gram.

made it real easy for the po-lice.
