Smoking the Tail Lights and Rear Side Markers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello!!

I had my rear tail lights smoked and rear side markers.

Before having it done I did a little research and there were a couple of things that came up. First, a lot of people recommend (in general) using some $50 spray can stuff, if you are looking at going this route look carefully, I have yet to see a really good version of this and for $50 only to be unhappy isn't worth it to me and on a car like this would make me cry lol. the other item I noticed was that there are some saftey/enforcement issues that might arise, but the shop that did this did it perfectly, its still nice and dark but also allows enough reflectivity from the light area reflectors as well as the light coming out its a perfect blend between both for me and allows others to see the lights just fine

Like almost all of my stuff it was done by LTL Motorsport in Yorba Linda and was a good price.

We offer the vinyl in 3 different shades. Below is a picture of the gun smoke material which is the least dark of the 3 levels. The red of the lens is still visable thru the material. Runs around $50 plus shipping for tail lights & side markers.
