Taillight tint
Anyone know of a good shop that can tint taillights in the Houston area?

Buy a can or two of VHT Night Shades/Tint and do it. Several light, even coats like spray painting and you'll be done.

I didn't want to go too dark on my tails, so they were wrapped with light grey vvivid vinyl.

The issue with going too dark is that it makes it hard to tell when a person gets on their brakes.
It's not advisable, and IIRC in some states it's not legal either. Granted most cops won't nail you for it, but it's something about obstruction of a safety device (Brake lights/turn signals).
