PM sent!

I saw a thread a while back, someone tinted just the organge part of their 96/97 tails. Anyone got a pic of that? I can't find it.

I've never been a fan of smoked tails... But the orange might have to go.

I used flat black paint and then covered it with clear coat get some laquer thinner so you can wipe off the mistakes... if you not that cofortable with spaypaint there will be mistakes.

I used a 12v bulb to check how dark it would be every so often.

I too tried the vinyl crap...with poor results
