Default Does anyone suggest a vinyl overlay for head&tail lights

What is the best and cheapest way to smoke out or blackout my tail and headlights. I was thinking the vinyl overlay that you can buy on some websites and ebay. Does anyone suggest anything to do.

obviously the best but not neccesarily the cheapest is to take it to a body shop and have em professionally smoked or whatever. but i'll be the first of many to tell u BlueBatMobile makes some AWESOME overlays for tails and heads. check out his page. www.bluebatmobile.net

For the headlights, use a vinyl. That way if you were to get busted by "The Man" you could always take the
vinyl off. For the tails, I would use NiteShades (spelling?). There's plenty of DIYs on here to guide you
through the process. Looks professional and A LOT better than vinyl IMHO.

I have vinyls on my tails and 3rd break and I think they look pretty good. You have to really take your time with the vinyl though or they will come out looking gross. Really depends on your cash situation and how patient you are willing to be applying them.

I did the Pactra Spray Paint method. I think I should have clear coated cuz it looks like its fading but I'm not sure. Its cheap tho. 5 bucks.
