Default got bored so i tinted my tails

Was alittle hesitant on doing this at first, but with several research videos from youtube, i felt confident i could pull it off. While doing this, i opted to mask off the brake lights as well as i dont wanna catch any static from cops around here cuz i already refuse to mount a front license plate although required by my state law. Posted some pics incase other members were curious on how to do it themselves but werent fully confident.

Will do. Waiting for the clear coat to cure so i can wet sand them. Then a few more days till i can hit them with some compound.

Those should look good on a black car. Not sure what you meant by "opted to mask off the brake lights"? The lens look painted black, not tinted.

Just wanted to post a few pics of the final result after wet sanding and polishing them and installed. I think they turned out really well.

I know! The orange flakes off so easily. What is a good turn signal replacement that wont trigger the dash light?

My graphite Limited was getting jealous that the SRT is getting all the attention so i decided to give her tail lights an updated look as well. The color looks off in the pics because my car has a green layer of pollen on it.

I decided to revise my tail lights. The more and more i looked at them, the more i was leaning towards making the blinkers red as well. So this is the result. Much better IMO.
