hey guys,

i've been thinking about tinting my front headlights, but before i do that i would like to see some pictures, preferably close up pictures. I know some of you guys have done it. My taillights are still in the process of being tinted, but im not sure if i should do the headlights as well.

so post what you have


thanks,
Sylvester

Hey Sylvester,

maybe it will help all of you us get some more details if you could ask them to post:

*if it's painted or tinted
*how light/dark it is
*where they got it done
*how much it cost

i like your tailights Mcfly. could you post some details of them. im looking to get my taillights smoked too but i haven't decided on how or which method i want to use yet.

i want only the red portion tinted as well and was thinking about purchasing a light tint from Lamin-x or this Ebay one and have a tint shop
install and trim off the white portion. This way i can always take them off if i wanted to but i don't know how the overall quality of it and i'm not sure if i want the tint shop to use a razor blade over the taillight to trim off the white portion.

i have checked out his car. It's too dark for my taste. I would like a light tint just to the edge off the red and give it a cherry red appearance liek McFly's

thanks. details? painted the red portion of the tails, leaving the clear untinted. spray tinted by EuroRev. i got medium tint.

i would just tint your current tails, especially if you have LCI tail's

Danny:
if you want to tint only the red part why dont you just take it to the tint shop and let them do it? i think the result will be better than buying the pre-cut one from ebay.
