Nice wheels, but they bare a striking resemblance to the stock wheels on my matrix. Where did you get them?

DIY FTW! Or give someone $193 straight profit... Lawyers need something to do in their spare time I guess!



BTW, nice looking car!

You have a great car!!! I like the BIG GUY in the back seat!! I don't know if I have your skill level to get it done as well as you!! I will think some on it, and may try it. BTW, the storage shelf is fine and still on!! You do come up with great ideas.
Thanks, pinball

You can do something similar yourself, but not what we offer. This is not the Spray Can job. Our lights get sent in to a shop that professionally tints them in a 3 stage process and then coats them with clear for a long term solution. In paint as in everything you get what you paid for.

$193 profit? We wish! :-)

No offense taken, just wanted to make sure everyone know we are not sitting in our garage with a $7 Spray can doing tail lights and then selling them for $200. Whenever someone sees our tail lights they always say how great them look and agree the price is very fair.

Thanks! :-)

But also a shop next to my house is well known as JRE and they professionally tint them with clear coat for 100 bux. Why is yours an extra 100? Not to be mean or anything but in honest truth it's a bit pricey

I would say you are getting a fantastic deal! Please keep in mind that most shops actually tint them with a process similar to the $7 spray can, they are just better at using it. The shop we work with is a high end shop that does nothing but show cars and does things a bit different. Due to this their charges are higher.

No offense taken Smart09. If you can get it done well with 3 stages of paint and get it clear coated for $100, do it. That is a great deal. Unfortunately our cost is way more than $100. If we were doing 100's at a time I am sure it would be a lot less, but these are done in very small numbers and until the volume increases this is the least we can charge.

Sorry....

Regardless of how and where you get it done, the smoked lights really look sharp (in our opinion). The key is make your Smart truly yours and have fun with customizing it! If you need our help we will always do our best, but frankly we love this as much as everyone else and would still be here if there was no Smart Madness.

I would do it with you but I don't have 500 dollars. I can see you are very legit an know how to sell a product. Maybe if I raise a bit more money. But for now I'm going to go the 7 dollar way
