Though I'm not completely sure how to accomplish this I'm sure it won't be TOO difficult, of course thats what I said about my intake too . My Nite-Shade arrived in the mail today so maybe tomorrow if it's nice I'll put it on. I'm starting to wonder though if taillight covers, like the ones autobadges sellis a better route. And for the clearcoat. Can someone fill me in on this? What exactly should I purchase for the clear coat,. I'm assuming any lowes/home depot will have what I need?

Yes...I did a search too [8D]

well we don't exactly have the same car... but for mine I just wetsanded the lens a little bit with I believe some 320-400 grit (somewhere around there, don't want to make deep scratches) to make sure the paint would stick. Gave it one good even coat, and then hit it with some rattle can clear coat (the 94cent kind from wal-mart) 3 times to protect the paint and keep it shiny.

i want to tint my lights and that stuff looks like the best route, but im too afraid of screwing something up

if your afraid you could always buy an extra set of stockers or something in case you screw it up. I tried it out on my stock tail lights first just in case. I dug how it looked so I went ahead and did the ones I actually run on my truck.

Awesome thanks man. I was reading that people wet sanded with 600 and than went over it with 2000 for polishing purposes.

WHere did u guys get ur clear coat from cause i dont knw wat kind to use because i did mine a couple weeks ago but havent clear coated so they look like flat black [:'(]

with the night shades the trick is to paint them and keep spraying them so they look wet and you wont need to clear coat. thats what i did and they came out perfect.

if you dont like it couldnt you always just use some thinner, take it off and clear your stockers to get rid of the scratches?

there is no need to scuff it down. just wipe down with windex and then prep clean than spray.
