Which blackouts? Overlays vs. tinted film?

[CTread08]

I have a black 2004 nissan maxima SL and want the tail lights darker. Should I go with black over lays or the dark film tinting. I am probably going to do it myself so I am needing to know ultimately which looks better and which is easier to install. Thanks

Aren't overlays and tinted film the same thing? I've always used the terms interchangeably.

I'd definitely go with tinted film. Quality tint is thick and will protect the lenses in addition to being removable if you ever want to go back to stock.

^What Mod said, also if you don't like it. It comes off!

+1

i have seen so many people that have to sand down the black paint to get it back to stock. its a pain and they are never the same.

Check out bluebatmobile. He's got a good selection of overlays at a decent price.

Well one question tho, do they put the tint inside the tail lights or outside?Becuz i see alot ppl doing both and im not sure which one is more effective?

Not sure about BlueBatMobile, but I have used Lamin-X. Here are some pics of my (RIP) 95 Max GXE, 93 Sentra, & 94 Q45:

go with night shades. its about 15 bucks a can and its a very easy DIY application. and hey if you dont like it or find that its to dark, all u need is a little paint thinner to get it off

I would get the black LED tails, IMO they look way better than tint (again my opinion)





I can send you a link to get the best pricing as I helped in the design process of them but IPCW produced them...

That's because it's sexy. You going to IA at the end of April?

There's definitely something about a black Q with tinted tail lights.

LOL...your a punk Is that the one in Atlanta?

[jltibbs]

Yessir.

[nismo1219]

Nope....wont be there. In my opinion, IA isnt worth driving to Atlanta for. Nopi, on the other hand, is a completely different story! I will try to be at the next two IA meets here in Nashville though. Are you going to ATL?

[jltibbs]

Dang skippy.

That being the case, why do so many enthusiasts still do it?

Guess it must be as ghetto as trying to make a Maxima VIP.
