Niteshade sucks. Rustoleum is a FAR SUPERIOR product.

That is all.


My results:



Man, I want to paint this car so bad.

When I did mine, I was told by numerous people that they could not see my tail lights in the day time. ALMOST got rear ended twice. Sanded mine off and reapplied just a TOUCH of tint. It's better now.

I got some brighter bulbs. You can see these quite well, even at night (I just had dad take it for a spin while I followed).

Some people go overboard for sure, though.

Whatever makes you happy but I want to make it as easy as I can for the people behind me
to see my brakelights.Does look kinda cool though.
Jim

Probably one of those kid things you "grow out of" like loud music.

(Not me though....)

Ray dont worry about the tailights,fix that rust man!
Jim

Looks good, if not a touch dark.

Nice title. Like is was targeted just for me. lol

It's a LITTLE bit darker than I wanted, but I sprayed the second lens a little heavier than the first, so I just rolled with it and gave the other a misting coat to even them out.

Still easy to see for my bad eyes, so I figure anyone with normal vision shouldn't have a problem.

I did the cornering lights too, since they don't appear to do anything on a Caprice. I like this look a lot:




Hope Jim doesn't see this post... I need to clean my wheels. lololololol

Ray,why are those wheels dirty?
Jim

Busted.

It's on my to-do list. That Cavalier came out NICE.

Ray,
I did / used the same on my SS, and really like the Product as well.

Yeah, they look good.

I really want a set of those GTO headlight covers though.

This will have to suffice for now... lol

I find that a light coat, giving the lights a "smoked" appearance actually helps to improve the visibility of the brake lights during the day. When the sun is out, it can often be hard to tell when a red-lensed light is on. If your light is a bit darker, it provides more contrast between when the lights are on and off. Obviously, if you go too dark, you loose that benefit as light output is decreased.

Mine are really dark but found that brighter bulbs really work well, and can still be clearly seen during the day

I saw Roo's wagon about a week or two ago with these lights. They look pretty dark but following him, I had no problem seeing when he hit the brakes (front of the car dips). Seriously though, you could see them fine in the south Florida sun.

^ Proof positive.


Dark is good.


...and hopefully it won't dip for long.

Who put the dip in the dip dedip dadip.....................?

ROO DID!

Sorry - Just had to be done

Come to the Daytona show in March and you can shake my hand for it then.


Rama-lama ding dong... forever.

(Bet you weren't expecting me to get THAT reference... lol)

Oh touche there ROO, LOL excellent come back buddy

Hey Ray,what are the GTO covers you mentioned?

Although I guess it's GTS (sure looks like an "O" in the logo to me... lol)

It's a stock photo, but those are the ones for our cars.

Roo,when do you want them?
Jim

Probably after I paint in either Spring Break or Summer. Add to the black look.

Admittedly, I LOL'd, but you couldn't be more off-base.
