Now I need to begin by sharing that I have attached a few pictures of a different marquee and have done so not to promote it but rather that which Shelby did for me thus making the project even nicer.
I saw where Shelby had blacked out the taillights on his personal gal and then had the opportunity to see one of Petunia's taillights first hand when one was shipped to me to assess another project as the result Shelby and I chatted which resulted in me shipping him a set of tail lights off the gal as seen the pictures below.
Now I need to also share that during my chat with Shelby I made it clear that I did not want black taillights but rather I wanted to have them darker when compared to OEM; to take the edge off of them. I knew that It was a crap shoot at best because it was difficult for me to share exactly what I wanted, all I could clearly convey was that which I did not want; as stated I did not want black eyes aka bulls-eyes for taillights
The results are spectacular and then add to this working with Shelby is always a pleasure and IMO he is about as anal as myself which means that the finish work is stunning. A short time after the taillights were received back Shelby contacted me to confirm that the tint was as expected and that my customer and I were happy with the finished product. He then made it very clear that if I was not happy in any way to let him know and he would twist and tweak them until I was.
IMO they came out perfect; as you will see in the before and after pictures of the taillights and the rear side markers lights they went from bright almost a silvery red to a very dark aka blood red as such they calm the arse of the gal down and given her an even more menacing look; IMO a wonderful personal touch for not only this gal but also another being tended to as I have a second set heading his way for his magic touch.
Is tinting taillights for everyone; absolutely not and yet if this is the path you desire to travel rest assured that Shelby and his team can tend to your needs in a timely and very high quality manner.
Having said this it is very important to share that in some states such as California this practice is not only not allowed but in fact is frowned upon by the Law Enforcement agencies in much the same way as is window tinting.
With this having been shared it truly is important that you know what the laws in your area are so that the process if deemed desirable does not cause you problems.
