On my lighter 3/10 tint there is very little if any affect on light output. Obviously more so on the 6/10 tint.

Any filter will effect light output and how it is distributed. Even changing bulb colors will do that.

Bat,
Do you have a pic of the smokes headlight overlay( http://photobucket.com/albums/y42/Bl...t=96d77fdb.jpg ) on a SB? Also Do you have the headlight over lay in blacked out, no tint? Would it affect the lighting?

How can I order some of the taillight and rear bumper light overlays from you? What kind of thickness and durability do your overlays offer?

Also any plans on real carbon fiber overlays for the interior??

Email me to order:

dubbleA@peoplepc.com

I use a 7 Year Premium High Performance Vinyl, about 3 mil thick. Pretty durable. I offer a Carbon Fiber finish as well .

I hope you don't mean that carbon look stuff. I mean real carbon, not like what you have pictured on the site.

If you do use real CF, show me some pics and pricing.
