Default White CF eyelids, black CF center lip, smoked fogs, and smoked mirror.

Like it says, tonight I smoked the fogs and mirror blinkers, white CF'd the eyelids, and black CF'd the center lower lip. I love the look even though the white CF is not an exact match. Its all 3M DI-NOC and its awesome stuff to work with. Not too bad for my first real vinyl install.. messed up a few times, but I finally got used to how it can streeeeeeetch..

What did you use to smoke the fogs and mirror blinkers? Film or spray tint like VHT Niteshades?

No, I'm against spray, its a permanent solution and I'm not a fan of that. Here is what I used, I got the vinyl from here too...

So far I like it, seems like good quality and it looks real nice.

Ahh gotchya. Yeah I like the idea of film not being permanent, however, I'm wanting to tint my stock tails (with LED bulbs) and there are too many bumps and divots and strange angles to try and work film around it. So I figured spray tint would be the best bet for those.

For tails, absolutely spray.. but for smaller, less weird shaped items, I'll vinyl it.. LOL

You could always go the route of the TYC Tails and film tint those like I did...

I would, but my aversion is to having to spend too much. I like the TYC tails, but I've got spider LEDs in my stockies and if I can tint them, I think that will still give an adequately custom look. Rather spend $30 on LED bulbs and tint spray, than $300 for new tails.
