I only did two coats on mine and they turned out like a red wine color. You can still see thru them in the daylight and at night or in the shade there black and still light up great.

pics of my tails after I got them done from my cardomain page.

I payed someone to do it :D they used NS and cleaned them realy well with something that wouldent leave any residue behind. I dont think you would want to do any sanding with it being only two coats since the paint would be pretty thin. I have gotten two inspection stickers since having them done and no issues. Also I have had cops behind me and never pulled over for them. I think with that shade I had done people think its stock for two reasons: Alot of Pontiacs use to come with tinted tails from the factory (back in the day) and you can still see inside them. To keep them shinny I wax them from time to time since its paint.

Cant tell you what ones to get but I can tell you not to get the michelin ones.

At highway speeds they lift up & streak (they sit up higher) and one of the end caps broke off after only 5 months. :agreed:

I just went with the stealership, as they know best for the wipers... I looked for replacements, and found it was a major hassle, as the G6 has unique wipers, so I went with factory replacements
