do they make colord pantyhose?? if they do then im all over this idea. bein able to switch between different colors would probably be the only advantage above just smoking them. and if you put them on your headlights for a long drive would it help protect them? im just throwing these ideas out there, cause this is pretty creative, and it may have more apps. then just black taillights.
Yeah I was thinking about that too... I'm pretty sure they do come in other colors. I might play around with changing them and seeing what else looks cool.

Sineo, I already have mine tinted, but just the fog light portion down to black to match the body, so no trading for me!
Does the tint wash off with acetone?

I saw someone else mention in this thread that you can do that, but I wouldn't know. When I putthe tinton, I put it on planning for it to stay.

Well I probably wouldn't do it to my car but i think it looks just fine... and it's not like someone you pass on the highway is gonna notice the difference anyway. i'll give you props for being creative

There was no need to ban my roommate from the forums for posting on here...
You know what they say about assuming...
He is on a bunch of other forums.

There are two.

I didn't realize how rude some people on here were.

I found something that I thought was different and looked good for how easy and inexpensive it is.
I thought I would share it and see how people thought it looked.
I was not asking to be insulted for sharing the idea. I thought it would be fairly obvious I was asking for an opinion as to how it looked and not sarcastic remarks about the material used.
Honestly who gives a **** what it is, if it looks good so what?
I mean the point of a car forum is to share, to help and develop new ideas not slam them and slander those who are sharing.

So yeah I'm a little irritated.
Oh well, at least I have good looking tail lights .

It should but it is hard on your tail lights and you need to be carefull not to damage them when doing it.

speaking of this subject, does anyone have a good brand and place to buy the spray on tint?
