Default Smoked tails....

Figured I haven't posted a good picture of my ride yet... Just smoked the tails recently, using a high quality vinyl came out much better than the set of niteshades I was looking at getting. Only took about 10 min/side for a perfect fit.

Pretty goddamned dark lol.. but you can still see the brakes/turns in the daylight at about 500-1000ft which is the law. I've had state troopers and cops on my tail constantly without issue... at night they are perfect.. very little disruption in output...

Like everything else.. it's all part of the game... you take chances all around. Check with you local DPS/DMV or look it up on the net... but so far.. I've been ok.

That looks killer. Got any more pics? I would like to get a better view of your vinyl. Is there more that we can't see?

I was going to make another post once I got my rims put on (setting in garage waiting on paycheck for tires lol) but here goes.. this is the vinyl I did... It'll come together more once the wheels get put on and the drop settles. I went for a "ghost effect" on the graphics.. during the night you can barely see it.. and during the day it's a nice offset.. (excuse the dirt please it's been raining here in Houston)

Not usually fond of graphics but NICE work! This is one of those rare times that I actually love the look of these graphics!

Thank you sir.... yeah i'm not a fan of graphics and really not a fan of Tribal AT ALL.. but I sat around for a few hours and designed this piece and figured a way to make it asymetrical and wrap properly around the tc's funky curves to turn out nice... it definitely gets looks.. The only thing I may add is my roster of supporters (which are very few)....but that may turn out to be too ricey..

Be careful with those overlays. Sooner or later they'll start to wrinkle around the edges. Should have did the VHT.

Not a fan of the graphics on cars but the back one looks nice, not feeling the front one.

I won't touch VHT for numerous reasons. The overlays are fine. If it wrinkles on the edge, I'll take a heat gun to it... Been doing this for a good bit now.. worse case is.. i'll redo them.. vinyl is cheap
