They are the 4" magnaflow tips. Back when I was about to get Trubendz I was going to get those same tips. I think the trubendz come with the 3" of the same tip but you have to order the 4" special.

And yeah, my windows ARE tinted, but only 50% and I want them a lot darker. Thanks for the pics, it looks even a lot better than I thought on a TRed

I tinted mine, and I think they look fine. Be better if I didn't do them at night, so I need to redo one of them since it's a little light, but they look great. NiteShades and a clear coat. Make sure you get a good clear coat. I did mine and it started to come off. Not sure what caused it. Cougar lights still looked fine when I sold it over a year later. And then when my brother sold it 2 years later, except for this part:


Here's the Cavalier and Bronco lights, the clear is coming off both, so you wanna get a different kind. I think the Krylon Fusion has worked for others I've seen. A Krylon Clear Glaze was used here. Still looks fine on the Contour after a couple months. Car isn't here to take pics, though.

I'd have to seriously think about it....i'm not at all impressed with te last can of niteshades i used and i'm not 100% sure i can recreate what i did on mine....at the very minimum you'ld have to have them clear-coated after i tinted them...

Can anyone post pictures of the 2 different cans to figure out which one I have?

I bought can of Niteshades off eBay a while ago, brand new, but the can itself looks old as hell. Not sure which one I have.

From my experience:

Old: small spray can
New: normal size spray can

The little can lasted longer than the big one. I could ahve done 2 sets of tails with the little can VS. one with the big can

Remember i'm only speculating they changed something in their product...i could have just gotten a bad can or something else....
