PPG black diluted 96+ percent with clear. You can make it a light as you want.
These were done by a paint shop and hand rubbed between coats.

I picked up some stuff called Night Shades made by VHT on ebay. It comes in a rattle can and can be applied in any amount of coats you want to get the exact contrast you want, anything from a very light smoke all the way to blacked out. Is about $15 for a can and is more then enough to do the front as well. I smoked my front and rears with this stuff, works and looks very good if you take your time like anything.

i smoked my ap1 i used some ebay tailight covers the only problem install is kinda hard its hard to get the wrinkles out. get a tint shop to do it if your planning to do it that way. i like the cover because you can just peel it off if you get tired of them
