i saw this jet black ute with hardcore smoked taillights and i thought it looked very nice. i was wondering if any of you guys have done it before?

from my undderstanding its some sort of spray? that you coat over the lights u want.

here are some pics.

its called nightshades

u can buy it from supercheap auto.

but it wont turn out like those lights, its ugly. Thie ones above look like they have had an actual tint job not a spray

the lights were tinted? gee didnt know u could do that

and it'll just get you defected anyway

i dont undestand how it would break any laws? the light will still be red

I've seen it done on some cars. If you can tint them lightly, your tail lights still show up. Apparently Nightshades (by VHT) is only that black when you have the lights turned off; somehow its not meant to tint your tail lights too noticably when the lights are on.

You'll still get defected though, regardless.

350Z-Tech has a great HowTo (with video) on the process. Do it properly, I've seen some people do it on their cars and its come out matte. The 350Z-Tech guys manage to get it to a glossy finish.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
