What about it did you not like? And what was the tint for? Windows? Headlight, Taillights?

sorry it was my tailights, i have 5% tint on my windows, and i think the tint looked like crap possibly because it was not dark enough, but it just looked like it didn't fit my car but i hate the red tailights

i like VHT niteshade, but for some reason it faded when i had it on my sixer.. it looked professional though. but its hard to stop it from dripping and getting it completely evenly dispersed amongst the tail lights.. tint seems to be the way to go. dont go the cheap way for one and either get them done professionally, or buy some tint overlays from autobadges/stangmods

I think it would look better if you blacked out the panel betweenthe taillights
