do it yourself, much cheaper. it'll get done quicker. and besides you'll get more satisfaction out of it knowing that you did it. I did a set of candy tails for an 02 silverado and also painted flames on my tails. 8 bucks in testors paint for the candied look. for the flamed tails, i used what i had left over from painting handles.

I think Scream posted some pics of his taillights after he got them candied. Try looking through his posts, I am pretty sure that he will have some pics. He didn't do it himself but they did look good. I think it cost him $35 to have them done.

Damn santiago that is a bit much, but was he going to have to take them off?
if so than I could understand, you would be paying for the labor to remove them and then put them back on.
guess he cut me a deal since mine was allready in there to have the hood painted.
sorry doode

His exact words to the guy on the phone - he needs 10 lights tinted, that's all he said. No mention of labor or anything.
