Does anyone know what the go with this is?? Ive seen heaps of cars with it and it looks good IMO, but will the police have a sook about it?

Please dont make this into "that is rice dont bother" issue..I just want to know whether or not its ok to do.

Has anyone else here done it..I know of one FF member and it looks sweet.

ILLEGAL - it is illegal to obscure the lights on a car in any shape or form. (maybe the real definition is open to interpratation).

You will be defected and fined, and then have to put standard ones on, all the stuff sold to do the tinting actually says on it for OFF ROAD USE ONLY.

But it can look really good though :0)

ah damn it I really wanted to do it....looks so evil..and apparently you can get the stuff in a can from autobarn for $15 bucks or so.

Ah well...it was a nice thought.

Nice thought yes - read the can :0)

A few of the boys in our club take out the tail lights, wrap womans stockings over it and put it back in. Gives the same effect of the tint, except you can remove it !

Not too sure on how it long it was last though !

Its an alternative to perminently tinting your tail lights though !

I tinted the taillights on my EB, looked awesome and never had any problems with police - just dont do it too dark. Although if you need to get a roadworthy done they wont pass.

yeah i have seen heaps of rice cars with the stockings on, I wont coment on that other than thats pretty dodgy.

I agree with tranquilized ya just cant go to dark, mine looks alot darker than standard and i still get decent light from them
