It looks good. And yea, your tailights do look a little tinted. Did you use nightshades on em?

Yeah, I used VHT Nightshades. That stuff is great. They're actually a lot darker now. Two days ago, I tried to add another shade and then clearcoat. But the clearcoat stuff I got did not work with the nightshades at all! It left a white film that just made the lights look ashy, so I had to recover by using MORE nightshades and now my lights are black. It looks pretty damn good and you can see the light at night, but I'm thinking I'll get pulled over during the day for the lights being so dark. I'll see. But just to be safe, I have a pair of stock accord tails on the way from Ebay so I'll have an extra set to throw in in case of a fix-it ticket.

Yea, that looks really nice against your dark colored car. What type of Clear did you buy? I am guessing the two types of chemicals didn't mix, kind of like lacquer paint over enamal paint isn't a good idea. What type of paint of base are nightshades? I suppose I have a bottle at home, so I can check to see if it says also. Still, I'd like to find a clear that will work over the nightshades, that would make a big difference IMO. The extra gloss of the clear would look real nice. Too bad what you tried didn't work. Was it just basically like dupicolor clear in a can?

Yeah fam, your whip is looking real good there. Looks like your taking good care of your paint. the drop looks good, And the tints look good. What percentage tint did you get?

Also what kind of headlights you got on there? JDM?

car looks great. still working at the old job? i may stop by to see it in person.

Thanks. I think the clear coat spray I bought was from Plasti-Kote or something like that. Basic can from the touch up paint rack at autozone. I cant remember what percentage the tint is, but I know it was the next step after the legal tint at the place I went. The headlights are the black housing "JDM style" straight off of ebay for $83 :thumbsup:

H22 would be very nice right now. Could be coming this summer depending on finances. *praying for scholarships* But I'll at least have an exhaust installed over the next few months.

And yep, I'm still at the same old job. I'm s'posed to work wed. and sat this week closing shift. :smokin:
