Hmm, I want to say around $130 with sending my own in. I may be wrong but I know it wasn't over $200

Out of curiosity how much would you be asking for your tail light covers? -- he said not trying to high jack someone else's thread,

I used VHT on mine. They look good if you take your time and use rubbing compound on them lol.

I've never had a lot of success with spray paint, I'm assuming that VHT is essentually the same thing and just in case the local LEOs don't like the tint covers come off a whole lot easier then the VHT.

01-ON-AIR, I'm thinking about it, give me time.

A few pictures on those pages, the thing about them though is that they're painted with automotive paint and then clear coated. So they're just like the paint on the car, just a different color and transparent.

I wish we could have a smoked look on our monteswhen we tint them, but it always looks like a really dark maroon.
