Buy a can of Pactra RC294 - Window Tint. Spray light, even coats and it looks great.

Im not sure if they sell it in the US but In Australia we can get Window Frosting Spray used for Normal Window Frosting and you can get it in all shades from Grey, Black and most other colours even clear.. I find this workd great for doing tint as it leaves no specks looks real and still see through...

Below is my Trans AM note the top driver and passenger roof covers

The tamiya smoke works pretty well the Pactra I dont have that great of luck with. I also have had good luck with actual automotive window film.

Default '78 Pontiac Firebird wheels?

Does anyone know the part number of the wheels HPI have on their '78 Pontiac Firebird? By the looks of it they aren't VTA suitable rims? Sorry this may have been asked answered before but I couldn't find it.
