Re: Tinted tails
There will be an HD video coming up in the next week or so. It was documented by GXP_Vince while I did both sets. Including what clearcoat to use.

Re: Tinted tails
Since I left the KOA last Monday morning, I've not seen any other tinted tail lights. Margaret and I were looking all the way home....... none, not one.
3 days at work, driving up and down the highways here and still no tinted tails anywhere to be seen.
I may have the only pair on Vancouver Island.

Re: Tinted tails
Clearly visible in daylight. Work? You'll have to ask Matt, but he was unconcerned. I'd have preferred to mask them off and leave them clear, but his choice prevailed.
I LIGHTLY smoke my reverses typically. John (just posted above on Vancouver Island) chose perfectly clear (not even a light smoke).

Re: Tinted tails
That looks amazing! I wish i could see what it would look like on a car my color. I'm not sure it would look right.

Re: Tinted tails
On your car? A little lighter. Medium smoke. Matt went dark because he could with the black.

Re: Tinted tails
I must admit, that Bonne is one bad (meaning good) looking machine. Way to go Matt!!!
