VHT nite shades can't be shipped?

**Chrome_thangs** · 03-06-2003, 02:17 PM

I have talked to two people online in regaurds to buying some nite shades taillight spray. Both people told me that it can't be shipped because it is highly flammable.

Has anyone ran into this problem when buying it? If not where did you get yours?

It probably falls under the same rules as perfume and aerosole paint. They are considered flammable and/or explosive and can't be shipped (atleast by air). VHT is a pretty big company so there must be a local auto store that carries their stuff. Have you tried phoning all the ones by your place?

forgot all about local stores! I lost faith in them a long time ago!

i think summit will ship, i also think it's stupid to put something on your site if they can't ship it (assuming that's where u saw it), but yeah try http://www.summitracing.com

you can order VHT night shades from summit racing. That's where i got mine last week. It IS highly flammable becuz the smell is unbarrable. They will charge you about $3 extra just to ship that particular product.

thank Original2k! they helped me out.

**original2k** · 03-06-2003, 07:43 PM

no prob man, my red tails are beginning to fade, so i was thinking of just smoking those suckers out, and summit was where i was getting it from, anyways have fun! and show us those pics when your done!

p.s.- does the smell linger after you've applied it?

**Chrome_thangs** · 03-06-2003, 07:44 PM

damn didn't consider that! i'll let you know.

**YK86** · 03-06-2003, 08:38 PM

I would reccomend VHT window tint spray over the Niteshades. The window tint goes on very nicely in thin coats and is very easy to get the shade you like. The Niteshades is more thicker and one too many coats will make it too black. Plus it won't come off after you put it on.

**original2k** · 03-06-2003, 08:40 PM

yeah! that's what i wanted to know, if that ish was removable, does summit sell the window tint vht? i've only seen the night shades myself......

**BLck89accord** · 03-06-2003, 09:00 PM

The nightshades comes off, but not without being a pain in the ass. Acetone, sandpaper, and a rag will do the trick, but if you spray lightly, you shouldn't run into problems. Yasu is right tho, its very thick, and sprays out heavy.

Here's a pic of it. I still have a can left over from like 5 years ago LOL. I saw it at the auto store the other day and it still looks the same. The part number was SP-171.

**original2k** · 03-06-2003, 10:04 PM

advanced auto parts sucks...........

**Chrome_thangs** · 03-06-2003, 10:07 PM

Damn could have bought your can YK86 (if it was for sell that is)

**dXsquared** · 03-09-2003, 08:47 AM

does that shit work? can you get it darker than that? would you recomend that instead of tinting the windows?

**YK86** · 03-09-2003, 11:46 AM

If you give it enough coats, it will turn black. Never did my windows with it though so I can't really reccomend or not reccomend it.

**dXsquared** · 03-09-2003, 12:04 PM

hmm... how much did you pay? in Canadian dollars?

Travis

**YK86** · 03-09-2003, 01:14 PM

Probably somewhere between $10-$15.

**dews89blkaccord** · 03-12-2003, 04:11 PM

Got mine at O'Reilly's auto parts for $7.99 nite shades. Not sure if you have them in your area.

**original2k** · 03-13-2003, 06:24 AM

check it thanks yasu, summit part# is VHT-SP171, additional fee's will be charged to ship, i am SO ON IT! hehehhe

**YK86** · 03-13-2003, 08:15 AM

Glad I was able to help. That stuff leaves a nice gloss too so I'm sure if you take your time, you'll be happy with the results.

**kennycm** · 03-15-2003, 10:45 PM

i ordered mine from summit, even though they had to ship it ground, it wasn't a big problem.

**original2k** · 03-18-2003, 07:43 PM

that's sweet, i just went to the local shop and they actually sell it there! i'm so stupid i never go there for anything but when i really need something they always have it, yeah it was $10+tax, picking it up tomorrow

**AccordEpicenter** · 05-30-2003, 07:02 AM

ive called like 5 places around me and nobody carries it, not even special order... Ill just order it online...

**HostileJava** · 05-30-2003, 09:18 AM

So the stuff is actually made to tine windows? Does it get applied to the inside or the outside of the window? If it's meant to be applied to the inside of the window, doesn't that mean that it may not be very resistance to thing like stones flying up and chipping away at it? Just curious. If it works well I'll have to pick up a can an do my windows with it. Does anyone know if this stuff fades to purple if it's exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time?
