does that tint make your lights any harder to see when they light up?

Yes, tinted tail lights are alot harder to see, thankfully the inability for someone to see that your brake lights are illuminated normally ends in a rear end collision, resulting in the lens being broken, and thus allowing the light to be seen normally.

wow.actually your kinda wrong. iv used other tint that does block light. but actually this paint lets light go thru fairly easy, il post up pics in a bit.i mean unless your blind and cant see, but in that case you probably shouldnt be driving anyway.

I live right by St. Aug High School.

Best time to catch me in that area (the loop 20 valero) is around 5PM going into the ranch. That's when I get there to start galloping the horses, etc.

Mine's just a stocker with removed roof-rack and side moldings at the moment. I need to sell one of my other vehicles so I can start modding it.

I get really good highway mpg, like 18-20. Around town, I'd say it's probably like 14-15.

I need to replace the motor mounts, do the trans fluid, diff fluids, get new headlights, and I'm dealing with a bad sensor somewhere.
