Nightshades Question? - SRT Forums

zyekcim · 09-27-2009, 11:02 PM

I was thinking about blackening out my tailights but i was wondering if i were to not want them anymore. could i take it off. If so what takes off the nightshade stuff?.

Yes, you can take it off. The safe way to do it would be to wet sand it off then buff it when your done. Plenty of chemicals will also remove it but dont get to harsh or it will eat the plastic as well. Acetone or mineral spirits will probably be ok.

If you're thinking that you may want to take it off at some point then I sure as hell wouldn't go the nightshades route. I'd use the film instead. Peels right off with no visible trace.

i tinted mine just in case i wanted to take it off...

they look good to me, i think i got the same effect as nightshade. when i change my mind about them i can just peel it off.

yea i was thinking about he film but my friend said use nightshades and if u want it off, something would take it off.

So if i do tha stuff u mentioned, does it do anything to the apperance of the reg tailights. or does it basically ruin them?

You can get the film on eBay. Just search tint film. It comes right off without leaving any mark or residue whatsoever.

Its window tinting film, you can even get it at most autoparts stores depending on your location.

NO, it's not window tinting film! It's an adhesive vinyl film. Look on eBay for it. It comes in many different colors and levels of opacity.

I just got the red and dark smoked from the place on ebay beats painting when I have a bad hand and arm anyways. Looks just as good as painting also.

hey guys i just got a pair of blacked out taillights from a member on this forums...could i put a coat of clearcoat to make it shine a lil if i wanted to?? and also u guys think it would look better or leave as is?

wiggyx · 09-28-2009, 09:54 PM

Yup, clearcoat will both protect them, and give them a nicer-than-OEM shine. Do it!

I tinted mine but did them too dark (got pulled over 4 times in 1 hr by 4 different cops). Brake cleaner takes it right off and didnt harm the lense at all.

yeah it took me less then 24 hours to get pulled over but i got a fix it ticket and the cop told me to drive home with my flashers on

lamaro88 · 09-29-2009, 07:37 PM
