Which tails in my truck??

Firm · 10-08-2009, 01:28 PM

So I've had my tails tinted pretty dark for the last year and a half....no problems, no cop hassles, etc. But they were done with hobby shop tint and rattlecan clear....look better than 90% of the tinted tails I see around here, but recently I've noticed a few 'specks' that look like the clear is seperating or something....it's probably gunna get worse so what should I do: I could strip these tails and redo them again(think I'll try VHT and clearcoat this time....I am not paying to have it done), put the stock ones back in(which are in new condition), or pick up a set of clears(with red reflector) I found cheap and throw them in???

Here's a pic of the truck for reference.

Lol, those were your tails

However I really don't think you want them, they look alright in the pics....but the weather is getting to them, and the passenger side has some pretty nasty stress cracks in the plastic.
I am probably just gunna wait till I am off at Xmas and re-do the tinted ones....A this point that'll be difficult because I've gotta strip all the old crap off of there.
Oh, and I've already found someone with a set of clears w/ red stripe local for $20, thanks for the offer though man....Hope to see you soon.
