With the vinyl strip of the orange Pro, does it cover the back-up lights? Is there a problem legally with that?

One brand of tinting spray that I know of is 'Nite Shades'. If you ask for tinting spray(red) , they may know.
I've read that if you do tint, it is better to tint the inside of the lights rather than the outside. Tinting the outside may not look as good or as professional.
A few ppl have done it up here and since the search isn't working, you should probably start a thread asking about tinting lights.
Here are a few site I found.
Nite Shades
More VHT stuff

Start from the 9th post
This is for the headlights, but it should be the same. You can also try a search on www.msprotege.com
It has been rumored that unlike your headlights, your "OEM" taillights may shrink. If I were you, I would get a taillight from a recked protege and try it first.
How about any of these?
And this one
I kinda love carbon fiber, so that will always look good to me. The red ones are okay, but I think they will only look good on a red car. All the rest are pretty ugly to me.

I like the eurotails that are red (the first one) but I have a black car and I dont think it will look good. The CF ones would look best on my metallick black right? The euros would look GREAT on a red pro though IMO

I like the first ones too. I think it'll look better than than the silvers b/c it breaks up the monotony of all silver throughout. Maybe the red with the strip of silver on the bottom may work better tho. Hmm...

they really need to come with something unique for the protege
because it is the same more or less for everykind
I am getting irritated because it is such an easy mod appearence you could do and yet, I like one , but not very much.
hmmm. we have to wait and see
