You can buy some spray tint at a hobby shop and do it yourself. You can also have an autobody shop paint them light black and then clear them.

Buy a can of VHT Nite Shades and do it yourself. Turns out very nice and it'll only cost you about 20 bucks.

do a search in the lighting/electronics forum, there has been several threads on DIY projects for this.

i second gooing to a hobby shop.. They should have spray tint made for rc cars. Works great. Start with light coats and reapply till you reach desired darkness. It will fade over time but you can just spray another coat right on it and its back to new.

If you hit it with some clear coat, possibly something for outdoors or exterior, that will prolong the good looks of the tint.

Definitely a way better price on them on ebay. Now if they'd just release the Bermuda Black version I might consider them. My turns and side markers came out really good with the Nite Shades, but I've been hesitant to do the tails, just because I don't want anyone rear ending me and using that as an excuse.
