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 :thumbsup:


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

thanks for sharing the pictures MacFly...

anyone else? i would like to see tinted headlights as well.

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.
