I''m trying to find on-line, or anywhere that I can get tints for my headlights and tail lights. Also, I am looking for the clear side marker lights as well for my 2000 SC1. Anyone know of anywhere I could find this stuff??? Thanks.[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

You''ll have to tint them yourself. VHT makes a product called nightshades I think. Its a spray on tint.

As for the clear corners, check ebay.

i did the vht nightshade spray; and as long as you prep it good and clearcoat, it comes out great. if you have the money your better off going to a paint shop and tell them to spray your headlights and taillights with a drop of black in the clearcoat, its not as dark depending on the amount of coats but looks sweet.

Thanks for the info... I think I may do the painting myself. I used to paint muscle cars back in the day. What exactly do they use, do you know? Maybe I should just let someone else do it. I wonder if GTS has headlight covers with the three holes for the lights to shine out?


Anyone know?

NO
NO
NO

and if you are the great muscle car painter you should have no problems preping & painting a set of taillights

I didn''t say anything about great...lol [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] I just did some spraying in my uncle''s shop back home, and on cars that we restored for ourselves. Anyway, I think I can pull it off. I just need to know what I should be spraying over that plastic.

Just use 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand the plastics softly. then dry and whip clean, shake the vht can really good. spay nice even coats and let dry between each coat. then what i did was after completely dry i wet sanded it once more. and sprayed some coats of clearcoat on... it gives it that nice fresh gloss look.

Ummm I think VHT nighshades has been mentioned a few times.Edited by: sw2cam

Wow, I hope you are just rying to be funny, not smart... Anyway, I know VHT was mentioned. I didn''t know if I needed to spray something on the plastic to prep it for the VHT. Gees... Anyway, thanks to both of you. I will see if any of my local shops carry it. If not, I will try to find it on-line.

haha. you can spray the vht nightshade right on the plastic. its fine.

People tell the guy what he needs and acts like that, gees anyway. Maybe he''s "rying" to be funny

I was trying to be funny... I thought you were trying to act as if I was stupid for asking a question... I just misunderstood. It''s tough to tell feelings of people by reading what they type. My bad. I took it wrong. It''s all good. Be blessed.

I am blessed .........

hahaha

Hey fellas. I started doing some research on the VHT Night Shades and other VHT products. I haven''t found one forum where people were happy with it. ChriSL2 - Do you have a pic of your tail after you painted it so I can judge for myself?


Thanks ya''ll.

You have not found one forum where people were happy with it ... I''d guess it''s the workmanship thats to blame not the product. So here it is on a friends ION, and on another friends SC .... what can you tell by looking at a picture?

I like the look on those and your''s. It is exactly what I''m lookin'' for. I''m guessing you''re right. The people puttin up the negative reviews probably didn''t do a good job prepping or spraying. I''m impressed with the look. Thanks for the pics.

sorry for the bad pics..... camara phone haha

Hey, it was enough to show me it is what I want... It looks like you didd a good job with the clear as well. My short Ram intake came UPS today. When I put it on her, I''ll put some pics up. I''m seeing most S series Sats are showing 9-11hp increase on Dyno slips with the short Ram. I''m running a 4 in tube from the inlet of my grill to the center hole of my new air filter to get some forced air action... We shall see what it does for me.
I like being experimental...lol





Thanks bro.
