Tail Light Tint in MA

Does anyone know a good place around Boston to get my tail lights smoked?

You could DIY it with Lamin-X film, that's what I did. The film cost me about $65, while the labor.. 30 minutes of my own labor $0.

I want to custom tint the tail light (leave the clear portion untinted) though, so that has to be a prof job

Have you seen this?



That's what I want to achieve. It's quite subtle and not over done IMHO.

That would look sick on the Monaco Blue coz it's of a darker shade, for AW, I prefer leaving the clear part untinted for added constrast.

You could do the Lamin-X and just trim it.
