I tinted the tail lights on my Mazda 6 and in about 2 months the shade of the tint (VHT Niteshades) turned green. About 8 months later the tint job on my tails looked like "wrinkle paint". I don't know if other people have had the same results over time but my experience was very bad. I washed my lights with soap and water, sanded them lightly, applied tint in multiple light coats until desired tint achieved, sanded again, applied clear coat, wet sanded until like glass again, and finished with a plastic polishing compound. When it was first done it looked absolutely amazing, factory look, but the look gradually deteriorated. Just thought I would throw out my pervious experience. It would have been nice if Ford was off the chrome bandwagon. My Black AWD Limited is covered with chorme items including the fake a$$ 20" wheels. Chrome blows but I don't want to ruin items trying to tint again since my previous experience was unsatisfactory when the element of time was introduced.

What up. I just took ownership of a 2008 Limited AWD in Black w/ Charcoal interior . Options that I went with are the vista roof, 20" w/ suspension, power lift gate, tow package (useless), and a couple others. I am on my 3rd day now and I love this ride. I am comming up from a 2006 Mazda 6, same engine and tranny... imagine that! The Mazda is lowered with lots of mods and up for sale. Anyone.... anyone?? I can't wait to get started modding this rig. Today I removed the audio system from the 6 so I can have a worthy sound system in this rig. I need to make a decision on a new nav/HU and get it all married to the Sync. I have not found much on integrating yet except that metra does have an option. How well it works is the ? because so far I love the Sync. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
