Personally, I think tinting the tails with Niteshades looks way better than having a cover over them.

No spray paint.....use this: http://www.jegs.com/i//322/SP999/10002/-1 (I think you can find it cheaper elsewhere though).

what about those covers though, they look sleek on these cars

no i meant on a camaro.
and the outcome of the tinting will come out alot better if u have a body shop do it with black/clear mixture. it will look realll dark and light output will still be good. the nightshades doesnt let enough light thru. IMO

i can tint pretty damn good with nightshades, and plenty of light passes thru, way more then a black out cover

Well, it's personal preference, but I don't like the covers. Too dark IMO. With the nightshades, you can spray a few light coats until it's at the level of darkness that you like.

I took the blackouts off since those pictures, I missed the look of the grids plus I was kind of tired of the complete solid black look. I want to niteshade them though, just to give a smoked look and still keep the grids. If you are going to get blackouts I would suggest taking the GTS logo off of them like I did. Some soapy water for lubrication and a razor blade works fine to scrape it off.

its a non-moving violation (an equiptment violation)
the general violation that we (cops) write is 39:3-66 : maintenence of lamps... which states that all required lights on the vehicle must be in working order and free from obstruction (dirt, covers, vht, colored film) etc
there are a lot of other light related violations, like impropr use of aux lights (fog lights on when there is no fog), improper color of lamps (blue tinted, green, etc), headlights required with wipers on, and others
but the "cover all" statute for lights is 39;3-66.. its NO points, and depending on the jurisdiction, approc $54 fine .. i got it a few times...but not anymore
