    Anyone here blacken out their bumper reflectors by either spray or stickers? I know novitech sells black out reflectors and tail lamps.. but rather not spend $3000.00 buying their stuff... In the past I had used the sticker decals to blacken out my Gallardo tail lamps but they were flat..where the f430 are round.. don't know how it would come come out using decals

    I brought some Novitec gear for my 612 and was really dissapointed with the quality of the rear lights, the other parts just looked like a original part sprayed - I used the Nite Shades spray and was really happy, plus you can clean it off if needed.

    Had mine done at Naples MotorSports. A awful lot less than the Novitecs.

    The Nite Shades website says "Warning: Once applied to a plastic lens, VHT Nite-Shades™ cannot be satisfactorily removed." Have you successfully removed it before?

    I believe if you follow their instructions which call for scuffing the plastic, it can not be removed. If you leave the lights smooth and clean there may be a good chance to remove the paint....just a guess though!
