Got5onIt Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Just an FYI, my 2012 did have the infamous chrome peel after less than 2k miles. Ford still hasn't remedied the QC issue or may still be using parts from a previous run. In any case, had my tail lights tinted (auto body paint & clear) a light/medium shade and the chrome trim painted flat black. I didn't want to risk breaking the reflector mounting tabs so I did not remove them. I just purchased a small sheet of smoked tint from ebay and tinted them myself. It's a little cloudy out here now so the lights look a little on the dark side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicsSHO Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you remember what % tint you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got5onIt Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 For the tails, I sent them to a taillight painting specialist and selected the Light/Medium shade. I don't know what percentage it is. For the bottom reflectors I just bought some smoked tint from eBay. Sorry, I know none of this info is really helpful.

SpoolinX2 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Love this look! Wonder how it would look with the chrome strip painted to match...I'm considering trying this, rather than having the dealership replace my taillights which have developed a flaking issue.
