finally smoked the tails
I talked about it enough so I thought I might as well not be lazy and do it. I was going to go with the tint covers, but I got it and wasn't too impressed. Anyways, they look darker in the pictures then they do in real life and I lost my digi cam so I had to use my phone and it's a little hard to see, but you get the point.

Yeah I saw they have sidemarkers on ebay but they are like 50 bucks with shipping just for the pair for the front or back. So this might be a little cheaper. And I am still debating on if im going to get smoked ones or clear. Thanks for the help though.

i would say those who are planning to smoke thier tails are going to make a mistake. 1st of all its illegal and it doesnt take that long to get bored of its look. i ruined my stock tails by painting them black i am not saying that smoked tails dont look good but they just cant be compared with nice looking stock se tails. does anyone want to trade the tails i have with your stock tails?

I just called my hardware store and told him the situation and that I needed something like Extra Virgin Lacquer Thinner. He just heard of Lacquer Thinner and I found some in my garage and used that.....even used it to get a smudge off the paint on the car

i been gathering notes for awhile now about smokeing out lenses. there was a member on her who smoked out there amber lense on the 5.5 headlights. never seen it before him. my guess he's probably the first.... looks so tight. you can check out his pics here:

now his lenses arent as dark as the lenses posted on here. do they actually sell smoked lenses that you have to cut down to size or is this a certain film/spray that someone might know about. def one of the best simple mods imo, especially you have a black max with the smoked side markers already such as myself.
