YOU can tint tails.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VHT-N...QQcmdZViewItem
^ Buy that

1)Remove the talights (2 screws and bulb harness)
2)mask off everything (overlap the tape slightly) you don't want tinted.
3)Spray a very light layer on.
4)Wait 15 minutes and apply a real coat.

so then.... EvoDave is back at 0?

You're REALLY going to have someone else tint your tails?!? It's not like you need to bake and disassemble them. You need 0% mechanical skill, unless you consider "righty tighty, lefty loosy" on a Phillips head screwdriver "mechanica"l.

Tinting tail (the outside, with spray) is a DIY job, plain and simple.

i apologized to who i needed to ......

first :
first i don't know who you are , but i think i recall you before comming on threads here and there once in a while and talking smack about me.....shame you don't have something better to do to a paying vendor with THE MOST feedbacks of anyone on this site....yeah i suck ... sure thing.

second :
i have NEVER not responded to anyone for anywhere near a month soooooo.... you know nothing....

third:
i have saw like 2-3 people actually get tails open, painted and back together looking even decent....and who knows if they ended up leaking /fogging...so good luck anyone who wants to try but i don't have lots of sets available right now to buy just fyi as i sold most my tails (to people who tried it) or they are in core charge service...
