I know it's been a while, but i got another call from bluebatmobile... he says they should be ready this week, I'm sure it'll be soon. I REALLY want this... he admits that because of our shape of lights it'll be a tough install... i'll post as many tips as i can as well as doing a write up for the install when i do it.

Those the ebay ones? How thick are they? What was the cost?

I believe the ones from bluebat will be $30 plus $2 flat rate shipping... I'll have to double check how thick they are, but I believe pretty thick. Did ebay have different levels of tint? For tails I want to go pretty dark since i have a black truck.

Tint doesn't hold well to plastic. What I've done to my cars in the past is head down the hobby shop and pick up a couple rattle cans of a product called Night shade. it's basically spray on tint.

You pop off the plastic cover and spray on the inside. Looks really good.

better check the law's about blacked out taillight len's, just another reason to get pulled over by the law.

Not of my car, but here's one I found online. Also a pretty decent howto: HOW TO: Nightshade/Blackout Taillights - LS1TECH

Hmm, never thought of spraying the inside. All of the how-to's say you have to sand down the outside and apply it on the outside followed by a few coats of clear coat to give it the shine.

If you spray the inside the plastic acts like a clear coat.

Well yea, but I've heard that our tail-lights cannot be disassembled without breaking them. So that throws that idea out the window.
