Since the beginning of my monte I have wanted it blacked out, Paint is done. Now I just need the rims, headlights, and tail lights. With some of my other cars I have just bought the pop on or bolt on plastic smoke or black covers for the lights. Ive been looking for the monte and theres not much of a selection. I see a lot of ppl here have em and was wondering where you got em at? Im used to paying maybe 40-50 for a pair but the ones I did find for the monte ranged from 50-70 EACH. Anyone find a better deal, or should I just paint em using that headlight paint?

 

Check the laws in your area first, you dont want to paint them if you will get pulled over for it. Alot of people use the VHT Nite Shades. Thats probably what Ill end up doing sometime in the future. You can pretty much choose how dark/light you want them tinted with the Nite shades.

 

VHT is very easy to use. I say do covers on the headlights though.

 

i use a mixture of clear coat & black paint to do mine but its the same thing as nite shade

 

Yea I was wonderin if some thinner and black would work just as well, and the can of nite shade I was noticing its pretty small. How many cans would I need for the tail lights If I want em real dark?

And for the laws...ehh..i get pulled over for worse. Plus this is texas, I can shoot someone on site for simply putting graffitti on my property

 

The cans of night shades size?? I got a normal spray can size of it. I mabye used a 1/4 of it. And i did 3 coats i think.... mabye 2. But its enough to tint a windshield lol.

 

Oh ok nvm I was looking at a different brand. It was literally 80mL and cost $40 a can. Yea these nightshades are a good deal.

 

We used to do that at wyotech. It turns out pretty nice. One kid even put some silver metallic in the black base coat he mixed into the clear. It was absolutely awesome, especially on a silver vehicle like he had. Plus the clear coat is gonna make it last alot longer than the nite shades would.

 

LOL what brand was that??? Mine was $8

 

yeah i done it on my truck, i believe u may be able to go darker than nite shade too, my truck tails are pure black & yet the light shines threw just like it did before i blacked them out, i got pics up of them on here
