For those that say that Vinyl is better because its easier to remove, I can definitely attest to the fact that NiteShades is equally easy to remove. I know because I smoked my tails today and completely messed them up the first time. I was able to get all the tint off with a lil elbow grease and shoot it a second time. Thank God that it came out fine the second time around. Ill post pics tomorrow. I went a different route and didnt black out the reverse lights. I think it looks good and gives a more stock look so the cops wont bother me.

I used a degreaser (I think "ID: RED" is what its called) that my cousin uses in his shop. It removes the tint , dont ask me why, if you put a lil on a towel and scrub. And since its only a degreaser and not thinner, it didnt affect the body paint, although I did clean the car as soon as we finished.

Nah, I didnt smoke the reverse lights so they would match the third bake light. I like it better that way and looks more stock.

Mail me your materials and I'll spray your lights for you. You'll need Clear Coat as well.

Had mine since late fall, still look great!

Well, you won't need to wetsand if you use vinly OVERLAYS........ehh-hem.

and wetsanding involves -fine- grit sand paper and...well, water of course. You can easily google wet sanding for technique
