Very nice, I wish I would have gone with 35% too. Mine is 20% and a little too dark for my taste . Did you get blue batmobile's overlays or did you do it yourself? I was going to get his overlays but I think I'll be selling my car instead . It's still just a though but we'll see

I thought they looked a bit dark, but damn do they look nice.

No, my taillights are Bluebat's vinyl, the reverse lights I did with my own tint. I tint windows, so I have a 100ftx40" roll of 35% tint. I figured I might as well try.

Selling your car!? For what?

haha nice! Ya it was fun tinting them myself

I don't know yet what I'll be getting. I might just buy a cheaper car (not too cheap) and a Yamaha R6. I fell in love with the R6 not too long ago. Now I just need to learn how to ride one

Yup. Some people do this job without removing the reverse lights, but it's much easier if you remove them. Plus taking the rear bumper off only takes a few minutes...it's a very easy job

A few things...
  1. That is a Veilside V1 lip (very unlikely you'll find that on ebay)
  2. Asking someone what part they have and saying you're going to buy it on ebay is like asking a guy where he bought his Armani suit and adding that you'll be shopping for the same one at WalMart. Kind of a backhanded compliment.
  3. Closest you'll likely find to that lip is from Evo-R. Read some reviews about ordering from them. My Mine's replica took like 4 months.
  4. This thread is like 3 years old....

re-reviving this duster for two reasons.
1. to ask if anyone's tried this with spray tint (ex. Nightshade)
2. to ask for a current pic of the kid in your z if possible for lols

(mostly just the first thing...)
