help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
Do you know where I can find smoked headlights and tail lights for a 1994 Mazda MX-3? or if they even make them. I am also looking for cheap front bumpers for the same vehicle. Thanks for your time.

Re: help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
Smoked headlights? *shoots you in head* why decrease the already crappy lights?
Tails: eBay.......
bumpers: aftermarket or stock?
Cheap aftermarket won't happen..... stock: Check the JY's dude!
Do some research....I'm surprised you didn't ask about smoked signals and side markers...
Just so you know. This is a nice answer.
I could have been a straight up a**hole.
Take Care!

Here's what you do:

Re: help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
I believe GTS makes smoked and clear headlight covers. To just black out or smoke your tailights, you can use vht night shades (i think that is what it is called). As mentioned earlier, there are 4 styles of aftermarket taillights. chrome, black, cf look altezza with a clear outer lens and then an altezza with a smoked outer lens.
Do you have any local "pull-it-yourself" junkyards? Should be able to easily find a stock bumper, or check ebay for cheap FG aftermarket bumpers.

Re: help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
VHT Nightshade is a spray paint that will make your stock tails look exactly like Colin's when they're off. Of course, they look stock when they're on. I did mine about 4 years ago, and they still look great. You can also use Pactra Racing Finish. It's easier to find. It's sold at hobby stores as R/C car paint. Either one can be used very lightly on your headlights to grey them.

Re: help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
It's very easy, and you can do everything for $8. I did everything but the headlights. I'm actually going to do my headlights, too
Just one light coat to keep them from clouding right away.

Re: help me new kid with mazdas smoked light covers and bumpers
if you use that vht crap spray VERY light coats or it runs. I did a few tail lights with this stuff but I don't recommend it. It tends to go a little to dark for my liking and getting it even is a bit of a pita.
