ya my painting skills suck lol so the easyer the beter

[Emo_Harold]

I used VHT and it was the easiest painting imo. You have my facebook so look at the pics in there with the tails and heads. I never tinted my turns or reverse. I didn't clear them either because I didn't the feel the need to do so.

do u think its possable to do heads without takeing bumper off? i tried to take it off and i cant get the clips to seperate and shit like that scares me lol

Matt just pull the bumper will release but you have to make sure you have all the bolts out there are usualyl one on each side that are kinda hidden.
I used VHT on my lights, and while a buddy of mine painted them it is super easy. We used VHT also, 2 coats on the tails, 4 on the side blinkers, and 2 on the lower marker lights

Dude, taking the bumnper off is EASY stuff man. The first time you gotta be careful, but after that it gets easier. Just remember, you wont hurt it and that the fender has the clips on it too. The best way isnt to pull but push from underneith, it'll pop off.

I used AUG Spray tint to tint my side markers and stock tails. its kinda tough but you get the idea ho to do it quickly.

I used the AUG spray off ebay and it was so simple to do the tails. I swapped these and put them on the new RS. Only warning is to do this on a still day. The wind can be a biotch when you're using spray paint.

[DeadCannon]

Inside is not a "well ventilated area" Matt... :P

[Phobic]

Pat you dont have much luck with tints at all do you lol.

Dont worry at all about removing bumpers, I think scion was wortking with lego when they designed our cars, everything just snaps off and snaps back on with minor hardware lol. no fear just pull that shit appart

these pictures suck and my cars dirty i know but i have all the lights on the car tinted with vht nightshades. it is the easiest thing i have ever done, as long as you can spraypaint then you can do this. just make sure you clear coat them so they dont start to chip or flake from the sun or road debris or anything like that
