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.

 

That looks really good, what did you use to smoke them? I have planning on Smoking my side markers.

 

vht nite shades. Also fyi, they have smoked side markers on ebay

 

Good job....looks good. I'm trying to find a place to get a can of that at a good price. How much you get that can for?

 

15$ on ebay and then they have it for 10$ at a racer shop around here

 

Back in the day, we used model tint spray. The stuff people use to tint windows on model cars. Worked well, and lasted a while considering I never cleared over it.

 

looks good. i'm looking to do mines in a couple of weeks

 

Looks good, would like to see better quality pics. I bought the BlueBatMobile overlays, but have yet to install them.

 

Is this stuff permanent?

 

no. use lacquer thinner to remove it

 

Looks great. i should do that.

 

Nice. I need to get a can of that. Hard to spray on evenly? Does it run easily?

 

It can run yes.....I learned that on my 89, but I sprayed it from a further distance, spraying side to side and just made sure not to stay in one spot too long. As for the spraying it evenly, I just had to i kind judge where to spray and it worked out well I think

 

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 smoked my sides. they look good and it was only $11 for the spray, and a day of working and letting them dry. but go slow and spay evenly and in layers. much better than buying the ones off of ebay.

 

can we see some better pics of the tails? and if you got pics of the smoked side markers i'd appreciate that too.

 

Yeah, cheaper, in my case, is definitely a plus. So we'll see what happens. And if you do have any pics that would be awesome to see what they look like.

 

like the look..probably gonna buy back my 02-03 tails and smoke them too.
gonna get rid of this setup soon.

 

does that badge say sexima?.......sweet

 

i just smoked my 2k1 tails last week and now i am searching for stock tails but cant find any where. cause i dont like black tails on white car. here are pictures of mine. you will get bored of that smoked tails sooner or later.
EDIT: why would you paint that nissan emblum.

 

Here's another pic of the back with a better camera and then a couple pix of the rest of the car in contrast to the colors of taillights and everything else

 

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?

 

why don't you take some lacquer thinner and remove it?

 

whats the guarantee that the paint will completely come off? i was planning to use the nail polish remover but not sure if VHT is removable.

 

I used some and it worked fine. Might as well try it before buying new stuff

 

where to get (lacquer thinner) i dont even know what this stuff is. can you educate me a bit about this. thanks.

 

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

 

so you think the home depot might carry this paint remover? anyway thanks for the info i will try to find this lacquer around where i live if i couldnt then i might try the polish remover.

 

home depot might work

 

looks real good.....thinking of smoking my gxe tails.....would it look better to smoke the whole thing or just the outer edges to make it look like a se tail?

 

you could just do both. start with just the se look and then if you want the whole thing then smoke it all

 

Yeahhhh Sirr!!!

 

take the MA off. make it look sexi.

 

HA ha....I've thought of that also!!! I told a girl to do that on her Maxima.

 

are those the ebay covers? doesn't look that bad...

 

nah...don't do it to urself......use niteshade.

 

kudos to you, but i can't say i'd ever do that.

 

Looks siiiick

 

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.

 

wow that looks like ***. tacky to the max. congrats.
