Very nice lookin Vita. The VHT on the lights looks sick on the black car. Keep up the work on keepin it clean, cuz it's looking real good.

hmmm is it made for tail lights?

[TXRLU]

Looks sharp, the only problem I'd have with that kind of set-up is the laws here are real iffy about lights that are not "specific colors" or have been altered. Stupid bureacracies

is it the spray on stuff if it is nm I like it thoe alot!

[Vita]

Nite-Shades is a spray on taillens tint (specifically for tail lights )

i kept the reverse lights because i like to see when i back up, and i think it leaves a very "stock" look to it, but still stands out that extra bit. in the light (and you can tell in the closeup of the badge) you can still see red, but it's just smoked over. i put about 5 coats on, they only recommend 3. you'd end up with a light tint if you only put on a couple.

i've still got to clear coat again, as i didn't quite read the directions, and sprayed to light of coats the first time around. i'm going to get a new can and do it up right, and they should be as glossy as stock when i'm done (going to buff first). aside from doing black badges, replacing the radio bezel with a black one, and possibly doing a CF hood, this is all the visual modification my car will receive. i guess tint and a new set of wheels isn't too far off, but it'll be a while for wheels.

thanks for the comments!

edit: i forgot to mention (some sound interested) that night or day, the lights shine through perfect. haven't had anyone rear end me yet even with more than the recommended dosage. just use good judgement when you put it on. to keep the reverse area (you can tell when you feel it it's hard to get a trace) i made a rubbing and cut out the piece of paper and taped it on (smaller is better than bigger). you just have to make sure not to spray to heavy with the tint or it'll leak under the paper (i've done this before). any other questions, feel free to ask!
