The spray tint does a better job as long as you know what you are doing.

the night shades might be a great idea , but im gunna ask how much to do the tint film first, if its too expensive (which on my budget is pretty low) ill buy a can of that VHT.

so how much did you get quoted for? and if you do decide to go with the paint, lemme know how it works out. I tried to ask Latin to do a set for me but it didn't end up working out.

Or maybe someone could write a tutorial?

i called around for quotes here in vegas, first guy said 250$ next guy said 150$ third guy said 75$.
so sounds like a good deal but i'm thinking twice of doing it cause if i get pulled over the fine will be pretty expensive plus it looks kinda cool already without the tint. so still thinking...
