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.

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.

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.
