Wow! That looks pretty good!

Got a link to where you bought those from? How is your light output on your headlights with those overlays?

Looks great, but I don't think tinting lights (and, thereby, reducing output) is a good idea. Generally, the more light the better to see and be seen.

really it doesn't make too much of a difference... i can tell many people's concern would be the headlights. it doesn't reduce output as dramatically as a "SMOKE" out @ 20%... mind you these are 38% and it doesn't affect much to a certain degree. as for the rear lights, i think the led are still BRIGHT!!! i got the tint layouts from a person in Hagerstown, MD...

here's the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38661

tell him Adam sent you from 350Z Forum.

How hard were they to apply. I've tried tinting before, and I absolutely suck at it.

fairly easy, just take a lil time to get ALL the air bubbles out. i started at corners while holding the tint up and use a squeegy... (wow if i spelled that right)...

Subscribing to some CLOSE Up pics from the corners and the tail lights to see how clean and stock like they look and any pics from before you tinted them.


LOOKS AWSOME BTW

Easy man. That's my mom also, any smack talk will have misunderstandings... but I know you are joking.

But back to the topic... Adam, does that vendor sell the light blue overlays for the headlights? Do they look any good?
