    taillights? Got my windows done, now I want my tails done. Or at least the euro looking bottom half of them!

    Who does it and how much?

    Tintmasters in Burnsville. They can spray them or use a special film for plastic.

    Tintmasters will do nightshades for ya for for $80-ish, or you can go there and get the paint for $20 and spray them yourself. Last time I was in there, they were testing out the Laminex film at their fargo store and said they would have to order it in. Spraying them leaves a flat rough finish by itself, so you could go to some place called th Chop Shop on blaine, where they will spray, wetsand and polish them so they look real nice, but it isn't cheap. You could also spay and wetsand yourself, but it is a PITA. Andrew and me have done this, he had better results, mine is still a work in progress. Here is a link he sent me...http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tutor...ing_Taillights

    my buddy owns a streetscenes tint in Spring lake park and has another in bp. If interested I can give him a shout and see what he can do for you and at what price.

    ^what he said.

    Looks crappy without clear so I'd suggest getting it done right (Chop Shop) if you don't trust yrself to wetsand/clear... or go with the film (rockblocker or any tint shop).

    Kvang had his done locally (sprayed and cleared) for cheaper than tintmasters does just the spray (no clear) and they look damn good. Don't remember where he got his done tho...

    I have a buddy who sprayed and cleared his, but they are way to dark for my taste. I want something that matches the car. Not too dark at all. I want to make it look like it's supposed to be like that. The car is urban gray metallic, so you can get the idea of how light I want them.

    Are there any pictures available with tint vs one with basecoat and clear?

    I have some but can't upload them till Tuesday. Just search nasioc for the rockblocker tint. Its quite a bit lighter than most nightshades spray tiny deals. You can do light coats of spray tint but its pretty hard to get even

    I just learned that the 06 tails are painted gray on the inside instead of the chrome look. I think I'll just pick some of those up.
