thanks again thats what i needed. The tails are off the car so i dnt have to worry bout that. You just did the top of the light right? thats what i was leaning toward maybe a light coat on the bottom red just to blend a lil.

na
i would say to just stay away from trying to fade
it might look funny

[HTOWN///M]

ok, sounds good

[HTOWN///M]

a lil before and after. Thanks for all the help. it turned out great. i love the look now.

[urban328is]

and that exhaust :O

[vikgiri]

[vikgiri]

can you actually nightshade windows? lol

[E36 PWR]

can you actually nightshade windows? lol
sure why not?
you can nite - shade your girlfreind if you feel like it...
you know...get a little of that dark skin lovin

[urban328is]

probably not a good idea. nightshades are best for small surface areas and would run like hell if sprayed on glass. that, and the idea itself is retarded.

[urban328is]

btw wtf is with the double double posts.

Na its the battery box thats in the way and i just pounded it up just enough to make it look right.

Nothing to do 2day. Thanks. I like them 2 but it was time for a change. and for the exhaust i wanted something that no one else around here have.

hey another question. i have oem clears on the front and wanted to know what would look better nite shade the clear on the front or nite shade the ambers i have in the garage.

I like that Exsaust!

I am sorry, but the smoked taillights look HORRIBLE. You guys get so bored with your cars, you do the smoked DIY for the sake of modding. On the blue ride at the stop, the classic OEM look with red/clear looked perfect. Why ruin that?

I must admit that on the blue I do like the white/clear look, the car still looks good regardless.

Thanks. thats what i like to hear. i wanted to get a reaction from it.

Personally, it doesn't look amazing with these colors, but on a black car the smoked top line of the tails looks sick. Also, the link to the red e36 with the smoked front ambers doesn't do it justice. I'm doing it to my schwarz II next weekend, I'll keep you posted w/ pics.

True, check my sig, or click on it for more pictures of smoked corners on a Schwartz II. If you use tayima's transparent paint you get a real dark black, that shows the color through clear, instead of with a red tint like nightshades.

Respectable opinion :)
I like it though :cool

that's funny!! you could've taken out the whole tail lights though so you wouldn't have to tape all over the car...it seems like a lazy job but it turned out good though

[M13]

Is the Nite Shade perm?

Anyone tried to remove it?

[toplezz328]

you can remove it by wet sanding with high grit sand paper took about 15 min each tail light to remove it for me..i had 5 coats and clear coat on there
