The spray on stuff works best.... but its a bit of work to get it right.

yeahh
lol... look on the bright side of the stick one, if the cops give you a fixing ticket all u needa do is rip it off. ha!
well using steam to take it off

the spray on VHT Nightshades can dull/fade over time... the tint doesn't really... just another thing to think about.

( Lexus LS400: How to Smoke/Tint Tail Lights )

cuz i don't want them to have that smoked look like i want more of a black look and my friend put that tape/film on his tails and when i felt them felt like the adhesive was all dry in the outer part so it was kinda nasty..

What is better the spray tint or the vinyl that you can buy to put on your lights? Let me know if you guys have tried either, thanks

Custom tc is trustable. The tint overlay is more of a sticker. You have to get the adhesive side wet then stick it to the tails. smooth out the middle so it has no bubbles and it makes a base to work with. Then take a heat gun and begin to work out the creases and bubbles on the outer edges. Basic rundown of overlays. Dunno id spray-on is any easier.

man let me tell ya about the tint overlay sticker... i had bought 1 of them be4 and it was hard to put on the tail light... and after a few day later it started to pill off at the coner of the light n etc. but to me its pretty much a ok if you can put it on w/o it to pill off... i just took my off a few week ago and went wif the stcok lo0k..

Paint Protection Film - XPEL Technologies Corp. These are the real deal; high quality and durable. A little difficult to put on and requires the use of a heat gun. I have them on all my cars with no problems. Project tC has had blue shaded ones on for about 2 years now and they still look new.



....bluer tint. camera doesnt pick it up well.
