Smoked Taillights

I found this guy on ebay that custom smokes the tailights. It sounds like a great deal and he even takes trade ins. I will be getting a set soon and I will post pics. Here is the link.

That's a bit pricey. Check with a local body shop that does some custom work they may do this for you for around 60-80 bucks.

I know a guy in my Mustang Club that does it and that is about what he usually charges.

Those are nice, but expensive. You can do the tinted pieces yourself no problem. I did mine a a year ago and they look great, have not come off after manyyyyy washings and have not bubbled. contact stickercity.com and ask to speak with Andy. He will hook you up on a good price for the kit and its very easy to do. tell him Chris from B&M referred you.

Yeah too pricey. Most local paint shops would have prolly done it for much cheaper...

He offered them to me for 160.00 then take off the 60.00 for my trade in. So I don't think 100.00 is too bad considering they are OEM lights and they cost more than that. I can't find anyone around here to do it right, I live in a very rural area and I want to them to match and not one looking lighter than the other. As far a vinyl goes I already have them on my taillights and they aren't dark enough and after awhile I know they will start peeling from washing the vehicle and catching the ends with the cloth I use. Here is a pic of what I have.

Took you up on that offer Chris , Delt with another guy (as he told me Andy does not deal with the sales end) got a bit of a break on the total order (I picked up the 3rd brake light, and two side markers in adition to the taillights) So thanks a bunch

So how much did that cost. I would like to do the signal lights and markers also.

The two side markers are normally 10.00 a piece, and the third break light is 19.95 the best thing about sticker city was they had varying tint percentages so if your state like mine has strict rules about reflector coverings you can pick a lighter tint.
