I like the way the head lights look. Wish the tail lights looked as clean, but i dont think i would dark them out

Just a quick tip to help you learn the ways of the Photoshop:

Instead of choosing a color and then using a darker color, just use black. Then, adjust the opacity of the black layer to adjust how dark you want the lenses. This also reflects the actual real-life appearance of the tint. I'll throw some up in a minute!

(I used your picture, but I didn't feel like resizing it. Sorry! I'm by no means a PS guru, but I think the tinting looks pretty good.)

I did my tails and my side markers with spray.

I have an extra untouched can if anyone is interested.

its actually painted.. we paint it and then clear coat it.. so it comes out super clean.. we can do it for anyone.. you can just send us your stocks.. or we sell them already done brand new..

I can do them for you if you feel like paying me a couple of hours for labor. Much cheaper to do yourself though.

Looks good. Wonder if it would look as good on RR.

I think this mod looks best on a WW car. I'm biased on this one. That's okay though.

If I do another set of them, I can do a how-to.

But, you're going to need a random orbital buffer with a cutting pad.

I had both, I liked the way the smoked looked with the lights off but it is going to make your HIDs look purple....fyi, and i dint like the way the tails looked so i didnt keep it on to long...

^ Looks good, but a little dark for me. Is light even visible through those?


I like Dino's level of tint - Still visible! Just enough to take away the pink.
