well since no one had the balls.... niteshadez...

Ok so after looking for hours on end for a pic of a firebird with the niteshades on its tailights (to NO AVAIL) i finally decided that i would have to be the guinea pig... so i did it. looks like crap, gona sand it all off tonight, but just though i'd let everyone know, its very flat looking and im afraid that any kind of sand paper will just wear off the very thin coat of paint thats already on there, i cleared it and even used 3m rubbing compound to shine it up but still looks like crap. ill post a pic later before i take it off (only did one tailight) and then you all can see for yourselves.... took an entire can at 12 bucks to paint one tailight and you can still sometimes see through the paint... too expensive just buy the lenses... but i dont even like those very much anymore, anyone interested in buing mine?

wish you would've seen my car earlier, i have nightshade on both my tail lights and it looks fine, one can was enough but when it is bright and sunny out you can see through, after about having it on for a year it start wearing(very little though)so i re-coated to make it look better, and so far so good

p.s
pics in my sig

use a little clearcoat gloss, and it should work.

when i put night shades on my side lights and 3rd break light, it looks nice and shinny. by the way on a sunny day, you can see threw the covers too ;)

yup. when the light hits it right, you can see red coming through my tails in some spots. only way to get rid of that would be to make them opaque but that wouldn't be too safe. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i have seen ur car fbird, but i really wanted to see the 98+ lights with the niteshades on it because i left my reverse light unpainted and i wanted to see how different/cool it looked compared to the covers that just cover everything.... anyways im going to sand it off toinight.... looks like crap to me... thanks

i did my sidemarkers too, but not the 3rd brakelight. i somehow forgot that one.

so your saying it looked dull even after you sprayed clearcoat on it? what sort of rubbing compound are you using? what sort of clearcoat are you using?
