tinted stock tails (3rd gen)

I know a few of you have tinted the stock tails on your third gens, and none of the old threads have pictures that work. I'm wondering if anyone can upload some pictures of these and let me know what kind of tinting stuff to use. I'm debating on whether or not to keep my CF euro clears or go with tinted stocks. :]

Here's a link to my pics (hope it works...never used an imagestation album before).

I used 2 layers of tinting paint. I wanted it to keep a visible redness to it, so that I wouldn't bait any cops.

Actually the cops don't really care as long as at night your brake lights show through, and no matter how dark you tint your taillights, they will.
Don't know if you guys have Lordco in the states, but that's where I picked up the spray that I used for my tail lights....

It's called something along the lines of 'Midnight Tint' and it says on there that it's for tail lights..... Cost only 12$ CDN

And I did 3 layers.

Deceptipro, how many layers did you do?

2 layers.

Only reason I'm cautious about this is that I make a few trips into Chilliwack from time to time...and the cops out there have nothing better to do than give out stupid traffic tickets.

Oh, sorry, I don't go to Chilliwack, no need to visit the farm land on the outskirts of Greater Vancouver

Hey Deceptipro, it says your album is password protected... also, what type of stuff did you use (brand, name of the stuff)?

damn, my bad....I'll try and fix that.

I used something called "Night Shades"...just some simple spray-on stuff.

hey Deceptipro, thanks for sending me the pictures in email and posting them here. I'm gonna go try to find that shading stuff sometime, and see how my stock tails turn out with it. depending on how they come out, i might swap em back in and sell my cf euro clears... if anyone is interested in those,let me know! ;]
