Default tail light tint?

hey guys, wanting to smoke my tails and not sure which route to go, should i spray them with the vht nightshade? i really think i would rather use vinyl like on american muscle or stangmods, but just want to make sure that stuff is going to work like mold to the tails without any bubble problems, b/c my buddy ordered some heads and tails vinyl tint off of rvinyl.com and it was junk there was no way possible to get that stuff to mold right without huge bubbles i was with him when he tried lol, so any opinions on the tint from americanmuscle.com and stangmods.com?

I have had tail light tint off of ebay for almost six months and there isn't one bubble, only cost eight dollars too. That would be my suggestion

Do you remember the name of the seller? That is a great price if they are decent quality.

Turns out the seller was saved but they no longer sell under that name.

I found some that looks exactly like the ones i bought though, it went up to twelve bucks.

I spray tinted mine with VHS Nite Shade but I went through a DUI checkpoint and was harrassed for them and my headlights this past Friday night. No ticket, but heads up.

I've had them forever and just now was harrassed and they nitpicked my car apart!

I tried. About a year and a half ago some t-boned me on my passenger side and destroyed my door and side skirt. It's fixed now though, so ha!

I've got the tail light tints from stang mods and had no issues with bubbles. If you follow the directions and use soapy water during the install and don't just try to stick them on there you shouldn't have any issues. It's really pretty simple.

I really want tail light tint but $60 seems high. I don't want it to be junk for $20 Dollars either though.

Don't pay $60 for them... I got mine off of ebay years ago and there still holding up great. Think they were like $14 to my door. It's all the same material.

Terrible picture, but you get the idea:
