Yeah, you would think a trip to the automatic car wash would screw it up. See I thought he was going to use spray paint to paint them and the panty hose was going to make it semi translucent so the light would still shine through and you could paint your tails to match your paint vs tint them with the specal paint.

Ya I didnt think about the car wash because I always wash my car myself. When its done by myself I feel like its actually clean and plus I dont wanna take a chance on getting scratches or dents... All in all paint in my opinion; it only took me maybe 30 to take them off paint them and put them on (1 hour to dry but during that time I was doing other work) Pantyhose + Taillights=

Should have got VHT Night Shades. Much Bigger can and less money, works amazing.

I rather cough up the extra bucks and get the VANS, it looks like it has some serious gloss compared to VHT.

Did mine with these parts from O'Relly's. Less than $20 bucks if I remember...


End result..



Did the reverse light too, just don't have a pic of it so far. They still look like day one and it's been almost a year now.
