    sprays work shitty, and regular window tint wont work either, u need a special tint (its thicker, more durable); its not expensive either to get someone to do it, which is what i recommend doing, try Mr. Detail in shawnessy- they do good work

    well it doesnt look horrible, i like it but dont tint over the reverse signals (try another shop-chop), that might look better, and jdmakkrod is right, be prepared to pay for a few measly tickets :tongue:

    Not only the chance of tickets with tinted tails, but the chance of getting screwed if you are rearended and the other driver claims he couldn't see your tailights.

    Yeah, don't do the tint, not only is it illegal, it is somewhat outdated and it looks way too 'Darth'.
