Default Smoked Tail lights

What's up CLFL!! I'm from the Tampa Bay area and was wondering if anyone new of a shop that was creditable when it came to smoking tail lights. I want to get this done for my car and am uncertain of a good shop that can do it in my area. Please chime in if you have a good shop in mind I can go to locally, I prefer St Pete, Largo, Pinellas Park, Clearwater, and Tampa. Thanks!!

Did they tint the outside of the tail light or the inside? If they did they tinted the outside, what's the life on them and how much? Thanks!!

They covered my entire tail in a clear bra, sprayed it, and the cut out the little "L" (I have a 2010 IS) with an exacto knife for a clean look. The tails were $40 each and an extra $15 for cutting out "L" on each light. They were done a year ago and still looking good

tint will go outside.

most tint shops should be able to tint your lights. i think the film is easier and stronger than tint spray

I had mine painted. Looks flawless, but permanent. They can make it as light or dark as you want. Auto Safe and Sound on Hillsborough just west of Veterans.
