With my paint job do you think it would look good to get my headlights and taillights blacked out?
Someone on craigslist can do it so was just curious what yall think heres a pic of my car  just a side pic to get the idea of how the contrast works

"so would you prefer this over the niteshade or the film you have"
It would depend on the application. headlights are usally smooth and there is little problems with peeling and such. Some taillights are not always as smooth and have some sharp curves and the film tends to peel on some cars. As for our cars I would perfer the film on the headlights, but I would probably use the spray for my tail lights. I will be spraying my taillights, singal lights and side markers, I will post some pics when there are done.
