Tail Light Blackouts

well I was racing (killing) a civic with one of those foldgers can exhaust last night and I was upto about 120...a little bit later I realized that my left black out taillight came off somewhere on the road. I couldn't find it so now I'm wondering where's the best deal to get them online? Someone on eBay has them but it seems like a rip-off. I appreciate the help guys 8)

Intstead of using taillight black outs use Nite Shades. Its spray on tint and they look black during the day but at night NONE of the light is restricted. The cops certianly can't tell thats for sure......

Hey Crimson, where can I get some of that spray?

and Kevs, I used lots of velcrow, which has been working for 2 years but I guess it finally gave up lol...did you paint the screw heads black or did they come like that?

CamaroRS91x, I live in B.C. and I buy it at Lordco. Don't know if you have Lordco's in the States. Its called " Nite Shades " I'd imagine you could order it anywhere.....its popular. One of my jobs is workin' in Auto Parts @ Canadian Tire and we can get it too. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find.... ITs only $8.00 a can (cdn)

Camarogirl18, what kind of blackouts do you have? If he ends up taking one from each of us he'll probably want the same ones lol.

Well im sure there a couple different brands that are out there, and for all i know differnt shades of tint. I forgot the brand name of mine, but its a pretty popular one. I didnt get a chance to go home this weekend, I might try to get my mom to get a pic of them and post it on here so you can get a look at em and see what side they are for.
