Tail Light Cover or NightShade?
So i plan to black-out my taillights, b/c i'm getting my windows tinted as i speak. I've seen both covers and nightshade jobs done. Looks pretty good either way. But my windows are 2.5% completely illegal i know, but in your opinion should i go with the taillight covers ( around 95 bucks ) or the VHT NightShade? And BTW tagged my car last month for only a year ( Bought it last month also.) Thx guys.

Re: Tail Light Cover or NightShade?
Covers have the advantage of you being able to pull them off right on the spot & the cop POSSIBLY not writing you a ticket. Of course, if they are TOO EASY to pop on & off (like velcro tabs), they can get stolen.
With VHT you can decide just how light/dark you want it to be. Do it light enough & the cop may not even really think twice about it.

Re: Tail Light Cover or NightShade?
gts covers really look sick.....better than vht in my opinion, and as was stated, covers can be removed.

Re: Tail Light Cover or NightShade?
Nightshades lasts just fine if you do it right, thin layers on a clean surface till it's dark enough, 4 coats of clear on top, wetsand with 1500 to get rid of the orange peel and then buff with a good finishing compound.
