Nice. Did you clear coat? If you didnt theyll be hazy in a bout a week. Even if you do, theyll still be hazy in a few months. The rattle can tint doesnt work that good in the long run.
Looks good now though.

Looks good. I did mine as soon as I got the Jeep, this is my second one. I did clear coat mine and I have no hazing issues. Also the tint has held up well through sand, mud, rain and some hot temps. Black rims help accent the tint along with rhino lined door hinges. I did the hinges and I'm saving up for rims over the winter months. Good job and looks like u did them right, still real bright!

Yeah, that sounded a bit a holish when I reread what I had written. I didnt mean to sound so negative. Its been my experience that the nightshade and similar stuff when applied just using the spray can does not do well over the long haul. If you actually use a gun to shoot it, it can stay looking nice for a very long time. However, if properly prepped and finished (as it sounds like you did), I'm sure they'll stay looking nice for quite a while.

Very nice job Randonizer! Looks like you prepped well!
Mine have been done with 3 thin layers of tint and 3 layers of clear and still look sharp and glossy. Kind of fades over time but it stopped fading and it is perfect now. Just a bit darker than Randonizer's lights.
