How did you smoke your tails
�
�
Hey.. I have a 2007 sti in black... What is the best looking, easyiest, and long lasting way to tint your taillights? Is there a hard cover? I know of the already cut smoked covers that are soft and the niteshades spray but I want to know if theres any other ways... What did [B]you[/B] try? Any suggestions? Please leave all bashing away from this thread. Thanks guys

i sprayed mine with vht nightshades and it came out great! i think im actually going to go darker... just make sure that you spray light and even coats.

get rockblocker. its precut, easy, cheap, and completely reversible (for resale).

+1 x2
not to mention it's still reflective so it's safer than nightshade/spray tint because even if you use clear coat, it wont shine like rockblocker/laminx will

If it were me (and it will be), just normal tint. I would screw up the spray.
| skate enjoi | 01-16-2007 07:39 AM |
theres really no way possible to screw up the spray? as long as you decently prep your tail lights you have nothing to worry about
| X-Factor | 01-16-2007 07:40 AM |
You obviously don't know me....
| skate enjoi | 01-16-2007 07:41 AM |
hahaha i know how that is... ive been known to mess up the easiest stuff too

If you want to hide the ricey looking stock tail-lamps, just post up a WTT Taillight thread in your local forum and aim for the '04-'05 tails.

after watching a friend try and use the nightshades spraypaint, i went with a set from hotsubarus. Waaaaay easier for me. plus i can always peel and toss if the next owner does like them. lots of option i guess.
| InfiniteMotorsports | 01-16-2007 11:23 AM |
I also used Nightshades on a few cars and it seems to turn out well and the finish lasts

The rockblocker/hot subaru/lamin-x aren't exactly that simple for the 04-05's, I watched my tint guy apply is and because of how the brake lamp contours out from the rest of the light it a bit tricky, you have to soften it with some heat and then stretch it over the contour and then push all the air out, I still had some even after everything was all said and done and had to go back and work the air out.

Unfortunatley, HotSubaru doesn't ship to Canada. I decided to buy from BlueBatmobile and was just wondering if anyone used their full tint product. I'd be interested to see their differences.

I have the full tint (3/10) but I havent put mine on yet. I may do that this weekend, and I will definatly get pictures.

Hmm thats odd. I would not use batmobile though. A friend tried on his car and said they were tissue paper thin and impossible to work with. Good luck though. I love the smoked look.

Not an Impreza but same concept. ROCKBLOCKER and 15-20 minutes = profit!

I had the rockblocker ones on my 05 but because we have that raised portion, one of my tail lights didn't seat properly. So I sent mine out to [url]www.jonstintedtails.com[/url] and had him spray it via european method. Came out great and I don't have to worry about peeling or anything. I'll post pics after I take them this weekend at the shop.

^ That depends on how good you are as it's easy to have overspray in certain spots which will show up when the lights come on.
| ray101381 | 05-09-2007 10:23 AM |
i used rockblocker and tinted my 05 tails on my 07 wrx, i also tinted the thrid brake light on the spoiler with tint from hotsubarus.com i don't have a picture of the third light tinted yet.
