Well, no class today, and my GF is at work makin' big bucks. So i got bord.
So i dicided to make my own smoked tail light like that on the famous black Cobra. But i refused to pay ass lod of money for it


So far its costing me $12.19, and hour of my time. not the greatest, but it look good from 5ft away. i still need to work the air and water out of it. what you guys think?

Great job, mang!
I think yours actually seems darker than his, but it could be the time of day the photo was taken (light effects).

I missed that....I think someone earlier said your tails looked brighter than the Cobra, but that was probably because yours were on a barstool, accepting light from all angles.

this may be a dumb question, but how and where do you apply the vinyl?

Looks OK.

That guy has the $49.99 tail light tint. You can peel them off,and put them back on as you wish which is what I like about those. So, if you get pulled over for them you can simply tear them off.
