Painted or Smoked?

95GSX6bolt · May 20, 2007

Okay well heres the deal, just about to send my 2Gb dsm off to the paint shop. Im painting the car a darker red. Not too dark But not arrest me red. Somewhere in the middle. Now heres my question should I:

A.) Have the center tail light piece painted to match the car?

B.) Smoke all three pieces with nightshade?

C.) paint the center to match the car and then smoke the outer tails with
nightshade?

At first I was leaning towards option B. Then I was lookin around and option A. grew on me. option C was put up to avoid all of you wise guys

So, Whadda You Think?!

Only niteshade 1 or 2 coats. Youll attract unwanted attention with any more coats.

Match the center tail light. For some reason it just looks a little cleaner.

I got with C.

My center is painted to the same color as my car, but then my tailights are not smoked. So I have to get that soon.

As for now, it still looks nice.

mbm · May 26, 2007

I say go with C. Mostly just cuz i wanna see a pic after its done.

C. I am going to do that also, that is once I break down and order some knightshades. I hate paying more for shipping then the product.

*VHT Nite Shades*...and yea it's deemed as a 'hazardous' product so the shipping is a bit higher but is by no means more than the product itself.

Hmm my car is white, and all three pieces are stock red..I think it looks really clean.. Of your three options, I would say shade all three.. Color matched center piece has always looked tacky to me.. just my .02
