Here are a couple pics of mine. They turned out really well. I cleaned them with rubbing alcohol followed with 3 coats of vht and 3 coats of clear. After this, they were kinda dull. I waited a day and used a polishing compound and they are pretty glossy now. I have since switched back to the stockers for a different look though.

Thanks. I originally planned only using two coats, but it didn't seem dark enough. I loved the look until I finished the CME, the stock lights seem to bring out more detail. BTW I got my Niteshades off Summit.

Here is a thread with a couple pics of mine. I have them pretty dark and they are for sale if your interested, I now have stock LT1 style taillights. They could use a little wet sanding to be perfect though.

I heard that if you have that stuff on your taillamps and you get rear ended or hit while braking or backing up it is automatically considered your fault by the insurance companies. The same goes for blackout covers. I'd be careful if you do it.
Look at Roach02's with the headlights lit... you can't even see the lights barely. If I were you CALL911, I'd either forget it all together or only do 1 coat.

I once had the blackouts, and almost got rearended a few times. I have aftermarket tailights, but would like to put just one or two coats on them. I would really like to see someone with a light coating done on theirs to see what they would look like. Unfortunatly, most who do this make them dark.

Bayer, thanks for the compliments. Your z with those Rebel's isn't hard to look at either. That white Camaro is sweet. White F-Bodies, when kept clean and accented right, might be my favorite color(Next to Bright Red of course
).
).

Im sure you could but make sure you tape it off really well so VHT doesnt get on you paint. I took mine off and thought it was worth the trouble instead of possibly getting VHT on my paint

here's some new ones. I wetsnaded them yesterday and did three coats of clear. I'm thinking about sanding the clear and spraying it again, to get it to look better...
