Tail light tint

Dustin@Z1

Covers are too dark in my opinion for street usage. If you want tinted tails for a car show, then do covers so you can pop them on and off easily. This will give a nice finish and will keep you legal.

Tinting tail lights with film is better since you can choose from a spectrum of darknesses. The downside to tinting with film is that they will scratch easily and show scratches much worse. (from my experience). On the upside, you can easily re-tint the lights if needed.

Tinting tail lights with paint always leaves a rough or uneven finish from what I have seen. You also have to make sure you prep the surface properly before painting. Paint is permanent. Film and covers can be taken off if you have to (covers can even be removed with the cop standing there in the instance that you DO get pulled over).

My $0.02 on tinting tail lights....do you really want to chance your beautiful Z to the 18-wheeler or dump truck behind your and hope that he will see you brake lights?
