How to "de-bling" these tails?
Hey Guys,
My car is arriving from japan this week and the main thing on my mind is how im gonna sort these horrid tails out:
[IMG][/IMG]
Option 1. Heat gun, spray chrome inner with a matt black
Option 2. Use a window tinting film to cover the tails
Im in South Africa so there arent alot of "Spare" 99s lying around, I gotta import if I want them, which I may do if these dont work out.
You guys got any suggestions?

id say give it a try opening them up, im sure you can get the paint to stick to the chrome just take some 400 grit sandpaper and roughen it up a bit first. I converted my tail lights to 99 spec using a heat gun so its really not all that bad getting these type covers off.
I dont think window tinting film will work very well, but maybe the spray on kind as someone else mentioned, just do everything on the inside, there wont be any weather or debris getting inside there once sealed back up, so whatever you do will last.
If you dont like how it comes out, you can still order some used ones. I happen to have a driver side tail light for sale but i dont know what shipping would cost.
