Sorry I already painted them more tonight. I can post some daytime pictures for you tomorrow of them how they are now though. If it helps at all I did 3 coats of Night-Shades, now I have 5 coats.

I was going to paint mine before the winter hit, but now I will wait till spring.

Are the 08 tails different then the 07?

No they are the same I believe.. its just that I have a Sedan.. they taillights are different than the hatchbacks..

I bought these taillights "wraps" that tint your taillights.. they deffintely don't fit on my Sedan but maybe they are for a hatchback. The person closed their account so looks like I am stuck with them. If they fit the hatchback maybe I could hook you up with them.

Looks CLEAN.

Like most cars, the Versa looks SO much better in black.

I was scared that I was going to have problems with cops but luckily I haven't gotten pulled over for them yet. They output light just fine, I'm sure you can see them from further than 100ft away. The can says to apply 2-3 (no more than 3 coats) and I put about 5 coats on cause I wanted mine to be extra dark. They look really good with 3 coats, gives them more of a darkish red rather than the straight black look.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I agree that MOST cars look a lot better in black but boy are they something to try and keep clean.. just washed my car yesterday and it already looks pretty dirty... its a shame.

Yep. Same issue with my Cube. When it rains here, it's a mixture of water and dirt, so it looks like I've been mud-bogging after a sprinkle.

Yeah I still have them BUT I don't know if I would feel ok selling them not knowing if they are going to 100% fit your taillights. They definitely don't fit my sedan taillights but I do not know anyone who has a hatchback for me to see if they fit.

I can post a picture of them in a little bit so you can see and maybe you can figure it out, but yeah I just really wouldn't feel right if I wasn't sure. Also DO NOT go buy any off of eBay, the same guy has made a couple different accounts selling this product and he will not reply to my messages nor will the company answer their phone, they made a new account so I am unable to leave them bad remarks.

Was waiting for you to reply. lol

Anyways, this is what I got sent. There is no way that these will fit my taillights (or headlights) in any variation. I tried it all. Do you think they'll fit your Hatchback?

It's all good, um what about $15 plus shipping? I paid like $35 bucks for them or something so it's about half the price.
