thanks for the info befor you got to me i did a little looking on here and found some tint at americanmuscle.com and picked up a can thanks though.
now my next question for you or anyone else is i've read a couple of different prep ways anything from just a real good cleaning to useing a real fine sandpaper and merely scuffing then spraying what is the best approach to this?

dont scuff, they will be dull. spray it right on.

Clean them well though. Use some denatured alcohol or similar. Don't leave any oils on the lenses or you wont' get good adhesion.

That only happens under 15 posts. And only to those who don't know how to get around that little filter. You have 25 posts now. You no longer have an excuse.

poorrednek · 07-22-2008, 11:02 AM

what no more excuses?? uh oh!

will post some then since i cant get around it

poorrednek · 07-22-2008, 03:32 PM

Sorry the trucks dirty but this is the after version its not prof. but it'll do for now i may strip them and redo but its fine all i need to do is grab some clear and they should shine right back up

**Carbeaux** · 07-22-2008, 03:41 PM

Nice job! How do you like them?

poorrednek · 07-22-2008, 03:51 PM

so far i love them and man what a total different look it gave the back end.
i'll have it leveled in a few weeks then some bigger tires and i'll be good.
oh i got to debadge it too

**Carbeaux** · 07-22-2008, 03:53 PM

You're going to LOVE it levelled.

poorrednek · 07-22-2008, 03:55 PM

oh yeah i think so to. i have had it a little over a year and i'm fixin it up slowly. my kit is coming tommorrow but i'm going out of town for a few so i'm getting it done as soon as i get back

**Carbeaux** · 07-22-2008, 04:03 PM

Do it yourself. Save the bucks for more mods. It isn't hard to put a level kit on.

poorrednek · 07-22-2008, 04:36 PM

yeah it sounds pretty e-z i'll probly get a buddy or two to came over here for a case and we'll do it.
