like ive said before.... VHT makes a nice tint in a spray can called "nite shades" add some clear when you done to protect it.

I'm sure it will work. I know for a fact the VHT Night Shades is cheaper though. I do not know however which nets the best results. Good luck bud. You can look at it one of two ways. More expensive is better. Or one is just a better deal. Maybe someone will chime in who has seen both results. I'm going to do here soon on my black Termy.

here are some pics of my buddies vw...the tint was done at least 3 yrs ago....depending on how many coats you use will matter for the shade of tint.

Just buy spray tint and can of clear and do it yourself. Make sure to clean the lenses properly before doing it. I did mine with 4 layers of spray tint and 2 coats of clear. Turned out amazing.

lol I'd help you if you stop and get the stuff. I bought my spray tint @ an offroad store in Murrysville called Pro-trucks, I got the spray clear from my buddy, not to sure where to buy that at.

Just need to un-bolt and take out the rear tails, clean them, and get some clean newspaper to lay stuff down on.

EDIT:

I never tried doing SN95 tails, do they come apart or do they require a nice masking job?

The stuff is really thin use light coats about 12 inchs from lights. Dont rush use as many coats to your liking.
