Ditto. I heard some auto parts stores may carry it. I haven't honestly looked all that hard for it though.

Every time I got to an auto place I ask about it or look for it... never with any positive results :(

I'm going to check at Napa tomorrow. I think somebody said they can order it for you.

I'm planning on doing my Rabbit tails too, but in a different style. I wish it wasn't so damn cold out so I could actually spray them. :(


BTW, nice progress sig Deagle50ae

O'Reilly auto parts stores carry it, most of the time they need to get it out of their warehouse and that only takes 1 day.

It is 10.99 a can, and make sure you buy some clear coat also!! O'Reilly Part No: SP999 VHT Nite Shades

For the right cop it is, and it also depends on how much you apply and where, I have a nite shaded top mount brake and it looks nice.

Yeah, it depends on the cop. I've had cops bitch about the tails. Then others never even say anything. But the ones that bitch about the tails are the ones who bitch about my focussport lic. plate frame covering my plate tabs... :roll: :roll:

or you could drive down to jetfest and back with expired tabs...

i've had 20% cling tint on my tails for a long time and never heard a word from any cop. At night they shine through like the tint isn't even there, during the day it doesn't really matter... i dunno

When the cops say anything about the tinted tails, they don't care about light output since its still pretty good. They compain about not being able to see the taillight reflector... :roll:
