title pretty much explains it. i am trying to get my outter two lamps tinted to match a blacked out smoked 3rd brake light i bought and installed on my 05 STS. i could do it myself but its a nice car and im hoping to have it look good. anyone know of a good pittsburgh / surrounding area shop which does good work? thanks! ---

if you take your time and make sure to prep the taillights and use light coats till you get the color you want then clear it they will turn out good. ive done many sets and all have turned out great the last place i got the night shade stuff was the place out on 22 in murrysville i think its called protrucks ---
