I would tell you to go with the tint. But I tell you my friend works with a paint protection film that is made specially for the headlights so it will not cause that problem.

 

What is the name of the product your friend works with?

 

LLumar Film

 

Oh wait my bad its Lamin-x film for the headlights

 

There's an eBay company that sells tint kit for our cars.
Paint is cheap looking and gives the scion a vato zone appeal.
You need patience with vinyls which 99% of ppl do not posses.

The tail light tint needs to be done in two pieces. One solid piece for the main face of tail light and a smaller piece for the upper ridge of tail light.
Painting is cheap, permanent and uneven, (I don't care how baller ur paint skills are).
How many Benz BMW's u see with half ___ painted tail lights.

Here's the link to product. I have my whole car done with their products without one issue,

I disagree. Yes, MOST paint looks like complete garbage on taillights, but if you do it right, it can look pretty dang good. I used automotive clear coat with a black base mixed in a gun and it turned out very well

 

That loos like vinyl from the way it reflects.
You make a good point but most ppl don't have the tools to properly do it. Let alone the knowledge or doing it.

 

looks good!

did u just tape off the part u didnt want blacked out? it looks SOO good!!

i wanna do it on mine!

 

most just remove the tails to paint them instead of taping off but yes if there is a part on the light you dont want black then tape it off like i did the reverse turn portion

 

nice taillights! matching really well

 

Here's mine!!

 

Those tail lights look VERY sharp completely smoked out! Oh and geesh what can i say about the tails on yours cesar.....I think they look incredibly nice on the silver, incredible! I really dig that color I think its the best yet on the tc~!

Yo man I'm really feeling your rims can you PM me on how you did yours?! I'm trying to do it to mine but i dont wanna f it up haha and i also did wanna thread jack...
