Those look pretty smooth & clean - but is there any way to make the shiny to blend in with the black better? Just curious - as it really doesn't apply to me anyway - LOL!

having them professionally clear coated would help a lot... looks good otherwise though!

I thought it was just me but NO.. VHT Niteshades in Not a glossy finish spray.. it is shiny when wet or under running water but when it dries it is very flat (see Dawgz black car in the 1st pic) i sprayed and wet sanded and removed the 1st attempt becuse i didnt like the level of glossy-ness,
i searched online and most if not all tails end up kinda flat.. plastic film IS way glossier but $100 more expensive.
i have 4 sets so id figure id hook up some SG members here, since tails,spray, and shipping and time. I'm not gonna make a major profit 10-20 bucks at most.

but it was Fun.

looks great man. i might order a set from you sometime in the spring if you still have some around, im going to compare my tinted tails with your spray

Job well done!! Those look very nice!! However, i think tinted tails only match with black cars... thats my opinion.....

by **LatinUSMC** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 9:31 pm

^^true..but they also look good with dark blue and forest green. i had them on my grey car for a while..i get bored of the reg OEM look.

unless if you got black rims/polish lip and window tint/headlights to match :cool:

Don't get me wrong - glossy would look cool, but they still rock as they are - looks like you did a nice job from the pics! :up:

Good luck with your sales!
