yes. i think all of us had them that way before we upgraded to paint/vht.
tint looks cloudy and not as good as correctly painted tails._________________  2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| Guess I was spacey...sometimes my mind floats. It's the artist thing. I decided to go crazy and just do the VHT...so far so good. |

sandpaper is your friend. it erases paint... then start over._________________ 2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| ok.. i have done my tails twice... I used Goff off to strip the VHT off the tails and it worked fine.. then just did the same wet sand / clear coat steps to get them back to stock. just rub the goff off in a bit and it comes right off. |

how scratched? if its not deep just step down in sandpaper till its smooth. paint will fix the cloudiness, clear coat does wonders._________________ 2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| I tried it again and they still suck. Had to put them back on because I need to drive today. I'm just not getting it. I did find a guy on Ebay that sends you some shipped for $200 and gives you $70 back if you send him yours.
I don't know what I should do. The ones I have are expensive LED's. I'm a figgin idiot! |
