Smoked Tail lights

Post by side_swiped »

Hi Guys.
Hope you can help.
I have a white polo 1.8i 1999 model.
Planning a couple mods and now I wanna smoke my tail lights.
Was going to get the spray from autostyle and do it myself but after reading a thread on this forum it's not looking like the way to go.
Can you guys suggest any other option.
Do they sell tail lights smoked already and if so where get them in the JHB area.
Thanks in advance.

Well if you check this post out dude says that after 6 months it washes off. I was also confused as I thought you spray that on the inside of the light so how would it wash off.

Hey man,

Had a loooong debate with some other guys about this whole situation, and i finally decided to go for the clear lights at the back of my Polo. You can pick them up at Autostyle for +- R500. They look really hot on the Polo...

May the incongruencies of life never affect you, and if they do, too bad!!! :)
