black chrome tails for 2002?

do they make these? i love my max, but the factory rice tails are my least fave part. do they make a set that is black chrome as opposed to chrome? it would match great on my color car. thanks guys.

DOn't know if they make them, but I think they're kinda cool. I hate my 00 tails.

I'd assume those are your stock tails right? I recently got a 02 SE and don't like the taillights either, any tips on how to "tint" them?

You can paint them with VHT niteshades tint spray.

Deckdout2, sweet tailights. You should also tint the rear red corner lights to match the tails.

to the niteshades.

Thanks man. I'm actually waiting for Custom Enterprise to get the rear smoked markers in, in the next couple months. That'll hopefully complete the package.

That would be correct. I like my tails fine, They just look better with a slight tint to them.

Take your time with the tint. Do light coats. Let dry for about 30mins between coats. Wetsand with 1000-1500 grit lightly after tint, and after clearcoat. Do light coats of Clear Coat (Enamel Base) also. Coat till desired darkness. Took me about 6-8. Let dry completely for 24 hours, polish and wax.

I still have the clear coat to do tonight.

O and make sure the lens are clean before you start.
