now those do look sick bc they are profes. This thread was just saying that a $13 can of paint, going through the right processess could make your tails look comparable. I still think it does, Im a bargain hunter and if I think a product at half the price will work just the same? Im goin in that direction

in that pic they look REALLY dark. Never been pulled over? The reason the cops give you a ticket isn't for it being dark. When I got a ticket in ATL they said because painting it takes away the reflective quality it has.

yeah but if you do them right they can still LOOK pretty dark, but still let sun shine off the reflective meterial inside. which is another thing much easier to accomplish if you dont use niteshades. but im done arguing about niteshades forever seriously.

Nope never have, they seem to be satisifed with them having the reflectors in the clear sections, although they are not red. When light hits the tinted section they still have some red reflection to them although not very distinctive.

so theyre like mine then. but if you take a pic at with flash or headlights on them you can clearly see the reflective and thats how you beat it in court.

Yea I see what you mean. In reality a cop pulls you over to get you for more than the tails anyways as every custom car has a drug dealer riding right? Lol. My car has no tint on it now AND no smoked tails(the good kind) just so they dont even have an excuse to pull me over. However, now that im older and not doing bad things I dont care so much as long as I can beat the ticket so here shortly im going to smoke some altezzas to just show the circular red, half assing skyline tails because I cant afford a real one
