hmm... spray tinting?? Can you do this with your tail lights? I saw a sweet Jetta the other day and it looked like he blacked out (GTO) his tails. Maybe he did it with spray tinting? Anybody have more information about "spary tinting" ?? http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif

Spray tinting is safe. Typically you spray the inside of a clear lense. There are several colours you can choose from. If you want to paint the exterior of the lense (ie: Bumper lense) there are products out there. I forget the brand but you can pick up a can of it at Performance Improvements. Since painting the bumper lense does not require masking (as you paint the whole surface the job should be easy. My only concern is the colour of the light as it passes through an orange lens then through a red paint (or whatever paint colour you use).

Oh and Old-Mo you can black out your tail lights but that is so domestic and ol'skool in my opinion.

so is it with this spray that you can black-out the lenses or some other unmentioned way?? I really don't care if it's old-school or domestic.. I just wouldn't mind seeing a different look instead of euros or altellza's every 2nd proto... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

You can either paint or wait till GTO makes black covers for your car. May I remind you that "blacking out" your lights is illegal (not that I care what is legal and what is not). My point is this- If a cop gives you a ticket and tells you to goto court to show evidence that everything has been returned to normal it will be a bitch to reverse the process of painting your lenses.

hmm... never looked at it that way. Good point. Anybody know of a GTO site?? http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
