    Ive been thinking about it past couple of days...i have a pearl black 04 wrx. I dont want to go to dark and just not be able to see anything, just wanting to get that nice blacked out look. I plan on using VHT nightshade...seems like the way to go after reading up on it. What do you guys think, good or bad idea??? idk...i cant seem to make up my mind. Thanks guys!

    I've used it before. It's great! I believe I did 3 or 4 coats on my GTi back in the day and they came out perfect. It made them look like factory tint job that the MKIII/MKIV GTi's had.

    there was a guy on here who had his tinted and wanted to trade....find him!

    Yea i found him, im willing to trade. I was just seeing wat everybody thought about tinting tails...as long as its not overly dark! just to make a nice clean "murdered out" look, thats wat im going for pretty much..

    Ohh i see, i like it. I guess im just unsure of the turn out. Im afraid that if i dont like it or something...i wont be able to fix it. Thats probably because i just havent seen to many WRX's with taillights blacked out or smoked. ...Maybe if i saw more...idk lol.

    I would suggest you try tint first because you can always take it off.

    One of those tint kits? are they cheaper than buying some Nightshade? i read some about the kits but figured they didnt do as good job as nightshade did....or atleast it seemed that way.

    the tint spray he is looking at is permanent.

    ahh I did not realize it was spray.

    You could always test the static tint to get a feel for it. You can get it at any auto parts store.

    Yeah the static tint. I have some at the house if you want to come by one day and try it out. It will not last and looses its stick quick but at least you will know how black out will look! :)
