Thinking about Smoking my lights. Don't wanna black them out cause I don't need to be getting pulled over, but a good dark tint to them would be nice.

Anyone else wanna do this? Maybe we can get Brad a bunch of lights to do at once and save ourselves a few bucks?!?

i tint a ton of lights. i can do anything from light smoked. to jet black. granted jet black doesn't allow as much light through but looks killer. i do not use spray bomb tint. i spray them in a special base / clear system i have been using for years and it works out really well. its high gloss, and very strong. medium and low gloss are also available, as well as color matching to your car truck. or bike.


def could do a group thing if a bunch of guys want them done i could cut the overall cost way down and still do each one exactly the way the owner wants. ill just base some rough pricing off a pair of tails or headlamps.

i normally do $60 a pair.

i get 2-3 pairs ill do $50 a pair

4-6 pairs $40 a pair

6 or more for $30 a pair

i can wait a little while and build up a few pairs to give ya guys a break. just post up if your interested.

im not even opposed to working with shipping on this for guys that are not immediately local but we can price that case by case individually and not affect the overall count.

Well I'm down for my taillights in dark/medium (kinda legal) and my headlights and DRL's light/medium. Just waiting till this thing goes through with the clear sidemarkers, then gotta bake my headlights so I can install those.

ya guys kinda lost me. since were talking about chevys. your both talking about the headlamps. and then the signal lamps that are under the headlamps about the same size as headlamps (matts truck)


and then onelow1ton is your front end like
Smoked taillights/headlights... 1607
or something else?


since i dont know exactly what the set ups look we'll call it 7 pairs so far as far as pricing.

im confusing myself so lets say your both at $120 because both jobs are similar sized areas

if we get more people ill cut it back further.
