To use overlays or paint?

latin_tazz · 01-05-2008, 10:02 PM

I have a question as to which way to go for my tail lights overlays or paint?
And which products would be the best?

vinyl is much easier to remove.

Plus, civics have some of the easiest lights to apply it to! Take advantage of that.

That looks real clean. What did you use?

i would also say go for the overlays. i agree with the others...once its painted its painted...and ive seen some pretty crappy spray on tints that look very dull and have no shine. if you mess up with the tint or change your mind you can take it off...
