I'm thinking of buyng about 5 sets and doing them. Don't know what the pricing would be for them though. Looking on ebay they run about $175 with tail light exchange. I would prolly do them for 150 .. don't know yet. still thinking. Thank you for the sticky btw..

Looks good, man. Do the tails show through well enough? also would there be a way to maybe tape off the reverse lights on the tails and only do a few coats on them, but still end up with the finish looking smooth with no edges? I want my reverse lights to still be pretty bright so I'm thinking if I only did a few coats on them and then switched in the LED bulbs from Lethal, they would still look fine.

Texotic, you can tape off the revere portion. just shoot more coats of clear there so you can even it out with the rest when you wetsand.. Should not be a problem.
Light is not an issue as it would be with clear and black paint mixed because VHT is a translucent paint, which means light portrudes through. You loose a bit of light but not enough to worry you.

Wow man looks amazing funniest art of it ll is for me when I just came on to MF this morning I was thinking about asking for a Hot to on this VHT stuff and you answered all my questions right here haha! Great write up and gratz on the sticky I might do mine but not the fogs that way I will still get light from them if I need it.... I am getting my Gt500 front end very soon and going for the GT500 Super snake look so tinted headlights are a must.
