I am using some 5% vinyl window cling tint on mine, and it's working out nicely for me. It's a trick to install, but well worth it in my opinion. I've done at least 5 cars so far with the one big roll that I bought, so you could even buy a smaller one.
I'll have to get better pictures of them soon. My poor car is filthy, and I've been too broke to get to the pay-and-spray.
Here is them lighting up during the day. It's not hard to see them at all. This was supposed to be an exhaust video, but my friend started recording too late.

I suppose I should give a bit more substance to that post. I bought my tint from Murray's/O'reilly's, and it was something like $6. It is the Gila vinyl 5% cling tint. I will snap a picture of it and get a part number the next time I am at the garage. I used the No More Tears and water in a spray bottle with a rubber 3m Squeegee applicator method, along with a blow dryer. I have a friend that wants his done, so I could possibly attempt a write-up, I suppose.
that is a damn good looking GT
is that tint prety thick and durable you think? i like the price. haha 5 bucks i can afford that. yeah post up a part number or a pic of the box or something if you can

And it's cheap and looks horrible. The proper way is either thick film or reduced black paint then cleared, like my old car:
The stuff I used is called Gila Peel & Cling Window Tint, 5% Super Limo Black. The roll is 24"x6.5'.
3M is what I used just have to contact the sell an see what type product they use?? I got mine but three years ago no fadeing, peeling?? Allthough my fog lights melted the ones I had placed over them. Had to take them off?? An take your time to heat them up SLOWLY or It will make them like "shrinky dinks" an shrink up

If done properly, VHT Nightshades comes out awesome. I've done 3 sets of tails for friends, and they have all come out awesome. It's all about how well you prep the lens, and making sure you are consistent with your coats. Then follow it up with 4-5 coats of Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer clear coat. Wetsand with 800 or 1000 grit, then 1500 grit followed by rubbing compound. I wish I had some good pics of my friends Audi tails, the only ones I have are terrible, and the car is filthy.
