1) what kind of paint are u guys using?

2) Dr Jekyl, yours looks great.... did you black out your grill too?

3) should i smoke my tails on Lakeshore Slate?

 

Don't do it! it's fugly Cheapens the look of the car IMHO.

 

Nope..replaced the grill, and thanks for the compliment. I had a body shop do mine when it was in to have the door dings repaired right after I bought the car. I had mentioned that I was going to tint them and the guy who worked there said, let me paint them for you and it'll turn out perfectly.
I was sceptical at first, but love the results. I'm going to have him do them on the Vette, and my black Silverado too.
Sorry for the bad pics...the sun was against me.

 

bknewtype and GJsingh

did you guys paint or overlay?

and if paint did u just tape off the 2 braking circles and reverse light?

 

I say no. IMO black accents look off on LS. Silver works best, but of course you can't paint your taillights silver.

 

am i the only one that loves the big bright red oem look of the tail lights?

 

Nope.. Looks good the way it is.

 

Do it, Smoke your tail lights

 

Here is mine, took the pic with my phone..

 

what paint did you use to smoke them?

and do you have to remove the taillights to do this??

 

I bought the tints from bluebat...I did not remove the taillights..

 

bluebat is member or website?

im seriously trying to get this done this weekend but dont want to paint them. i like having the option of going back to stock.

 

Yes, I think I saw his post somewhere in this forum. If you order from him, it's going to take a while thou. I know, I like to put the tints on and if in the future I don't want it, i'll peel it off. Here is his website
