I used smoke FoliaTech on my taillights... I think it looks good. It def. looks a lot better than the crappy covers you can buy...

I bought it from GR2USA I think. I know I bought it online. I bought it along with interior spray kit so the shipping wasn't a big deal. If you want, I can get you a can of the same stuff made by a company called NITESHADES. It is exactly the same and doesn't drip like the fake stuff, as long as you apply it in thin coats of course. The cost for the stuff is $10.50/can at a local speed shop here in Indy...

I have used this stuff as well.

Go to your local hobby shop. In the Testors paint section they sell transparent black tint spray. It's ment for model cars, but works great on anything that's plastic. I did all my lights, except the headlights, with two cans and a bunch left over. It has been on for about a month and after many washes, automatic and by hand, it still looks great. Best part is the cans only cost around $4.00

Just remember to do many light coats or else it will run.

Hey Jeff,
What other speed shops are there here in Indy? I'd like to find something a little closer than Indy Import Performance.
