Default Tried out Red VHT nightshades

Pretty happy with the results. Cleaned it well and sprayed 3 light coats without sanding or clear coating. This stuff feels tuff even without sanding or clear, and can be removed with some googone later if it decides to peel, fade, or scratch up.

What do you guys think? Took about 45 minutes and 12 bucks.







Track pic from friday with my new BAMA tunes!!

Yea, idk, seems like a whole 'lotta red.

Goes GA have inspections? I know Florida doesn't, so that wouldn't be an issue.

I think it looks good. But how are the people behind you supposed to know when you're backing up? If you get hit for that reason in the future, you'd be the one at fault. Just something to think about.

I think it looks good. My buddy with a red 5.0 did the black out tint and magnet deck lid panel and it looks good. But red all across looks good too!!

Doesn't do it for me but if you dig it, then +1 right?? It matches your car theme of clean red by the looks of it, you do what your 'flavor' is telling you bud. I have been minorly schooled in 'rear lighting' by an officer checking out my car, and then my tinted rears here in GA one day at lunch - thankfully he was going in while I was coming out and he seemed in a good mood, and was digging the car. Legal rears as long as they can be seen 3000' away at night and 1500' in daylight as he expressed to me (he was a state trooper, for all that matters as I've heard differently from a sheriff a few years back - 3000' from the rear at all times). Which, with these bright **** 2010+ lights that is no frickin' problem even tinted - I can still see peoples faces light up red and watch them squint, in my rear mirror even with these things all tinted up..

I would be worried about being in reverse and that not being noticed by other drivers. Park so you never back up again...

edit: I looked back up at the pics some more, and it is growing on me actually, so +2..
