Default Nightshade? Where to buy?

Yeah, like the title says.

At least I think that is what the stuff is called. I want to darken the gray stuff around my headlights and try to 'fog' my fog lights up just a little bit.

if you cant find any, just about any paint shop should be able to make it for ya, all it is, is just clear coat tinted with black color

Can you tint your tail lights with this stuff? and if so how hard is this stuff to get off if I put it on and do not like it?

Yes that's what I did... and amazon is the cheapest place to buy, fast shipping. Look up 'how to use night shade' though, there are long descriptions of what to do and what not to do out there, basically just wet sand, apply coat, repeat.

i got mine at advance too...i did my taillights and 3rd brake light last summer and they came out ok but last month i redid them and they came out awesome. fyi is was biatch getting it off. all hand sanding. if you plan on doing it plan on taking your time and doing it right. mine are completely black and you can see the light through them just fine.

Wow, Thanks Trucky and lmrjason that does look very very nice... and a lot less expensive then the mopar tuner tail lights that I had my heart set on. I think I am going to look for some cheap used tail lights online and then give the night shade a shot! Nice spray in bed liner and bed extender btw Trucky.
