    best way to smoke?

    I want to smoke my taillights, turn signals, and bumper lights. What would you guys recommend as the best way of doing so? I was thinking of spray paint smoking them and my causin recommended tint smoking (film). I don't know what's the best way you guys would recommend?

      the whole purpose is to save money and not spend 200-300 on smoked tail lights...

        Sidemarkers would look great with Lamin-X and you could do the front turns with Lamin-X aswell or just pick up smoekd lenses. As far as the tails, I wouldn't settle for anythign less than the real thing personally

          :stupid: Side markers and turn signals can be found for not a lot of dough, and will be worth the extra money. And I really, really don't like smoked tails, just don't look right IMO, but a lot of people do. If you're gonna do them, buy the real things. That's really the only time they look good enough to be worth putting on the car.

          Sorry if I offend anyone, just remember I'm the guy that loves wood interior bits, so feel free to pick on me :)

            sidemarkers??? what the fuck is lamin-x? is that a type of condom?? expensive plastic?



            I had a black can of spray paint lying around.....and used the rattle can on mine. worked great.

            MHW for tinted turn signals and tails. (turn signal from Abraham Motorsports) Or tint spray for tails works fine.

              where can you get smoked sidemarkers?

              I already have smoked turns, and I was gonna lamin-x my sidemarkers, but 2 of them are broken and I'd like to get new ones that are already smoked if I can

                unless you are avid about keeping the sidemarkers, why don't you consider deleting them like jordan did on his car. it looks great and you don't really need them. just an idea. If not use niteshades or something of that nature.
