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).

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
