Where to buy VHT Nite-Shades in Bay Area
Looking to pick up a bottle of this stuff for tinting the rear lights. Anyone know of stores in the bay area that sell it? Would rather not pay $10 shipping. I live in SF and work in Concord

Just called Auto Freak. They sell Dia brand black tint for $29. I was looking at $18 for Nite-Shades w/ shipping, so I'll probably go with that.
First pic: How they look now (though that's not the color of my car)
Second pic: Tinted lights with film
Third pic: Diluted automotive paint with masked off the reflector at the bottom
Fourth pic: Nite-Shades with masked off circles/reflector at the bottom
I want to go for the look of the diluted paint whereas the top is smoked and the reflector is left alone. I would try to tint them myself, but since its not going all the way to the bottom I would be worried that it may come off (your thoughts?). So I want to try and use Nite-Shades.
How do you apply a film of tint? My impression is you cut it to size, spray some water, put the tint on and squeegee out the excess and then hit it with a hair dryer... am I far off?
