Tinted tails with VHT Niteshades. They are shinier now that I've polished them up a bit too.

2000 grit wetsanding, then 3M Fine-cut swirl mark remover on an orbital polisher, followed by a few coats of Zaino. Now they shine like the paint on the rest of the car.

Thats the best I have seen VHT nightshade used. I bet they shine pretty good, the angle of the picture just doesn't show it off as much.

Like I said, that pic is pre-polish. Give me a few days and I'll see if I can get a pic with them all done. I need to re-tint them anyways, since the edges got worn off where the taillight covers rubbed.
