TINTED TAILLIGHTS! - Toyota Yaris Forums

elsteverino889 · 12-05-2006, 06:31 PM

Well it was pretty basic, I put half of my car into my garage and i left the taillights on the car, and i taped all around it and put paper...i went to a local hobby shop that sold plastic tinting spray each can cost $5, i just used 1 and a half cans of the tint using 5-6 coats 20 min between each coat and then 2 coats of gloss..after all that left it in the garage for 4 hours and took off the paper and it was perfect and i also took off the yaris and toyota badges just with a normal blow dryer

ok, after seeing that my tails are getting a few more coats, that looks sick

Lowfront · 12-05-2006, 11:55 PM

I want to do that so bad but afraid of getting tickets every 2 seconds.

Let us know if you get pulled over a lot...

mine are already smoked, with 2 coats, most cops (at least here in MI & OH) Don't so much care about headlight/taillight covers or smoking

solarVitz · 12-06-2006, 12:07 AM

on my previuos car these so called tints wear off during the elements, rain , snow etc.... i understand i should have used a clearcoat also, did you clearcoat yours (or is this the gloss you mention?)

(p.s.) nice impala, SS?

You might want to check, that kind of tinting is illegal up here in N.Florida

elsteverino889 · 12-06-2006, 07:43 PM

Well guys I live in miami, FL and its known for asshole cops and yesterday as a matter of fact a cop was right behind me for 5 min (yes i was shitting myself) he didnt even do anythin i got out of his way and he went behind a srt-4 with blacked out tail lights like mine...and i have 5% tints everywhere but its really up to the cop down here cops have to give at least 4 tickets a day so if u are caught in that quota im sry for you..

TrancosRt · 12-06-2006, 09:01 PM

I think here in Broward county have more of a quarterly quota ;).
In any case, I don't think I'll find matching "tint" for my meteorite metallic :S. It would be sick though :D.
Nice looking Yaris BTW!!
