That looks awesome on LeMans (makes it look more like the concept Z in the back). Do you have any pictures looking at the back straight on? Thanks in advance.

Looks great

You considering doing anything with the headlights? A full overlay would look rather nice on there

ummm....I have the headlight overlay on there....just not in the last picture.

It's pretty light on my car, almost blue/greenish. I asked for the lightest smoke possible so it wouldn't affect the headlight function.

Basically it dulls the chrome...

Ah, the pics look nice! Nice choice on the light tint for the Headlamp Overlay, goes really well with the finish on the wheels, nice and subtle.

Looks Great! I like that.
I think window tint about 20% / 35% is in order.
I too have an LS and that is just what I plan on doing this week.

Why would anyone want to darken their headlights or tailights... "blackouts" are so high-school/ghetto.

First off, they arent Blackouts. That's just a general term. When I think of Blackouts, I think of those really really dark covers you see on Camaro's and Mustangs. These are tinted much lighter than blackouts, and the light does shine through them. You see alot of Euro cars with their taillights slightly tinted or smoked, and that's stock.

The tails certainly look like blackouts to me. You also see cars w/ altezzas. Does that mean they look good on a Z? If you like them cool. But in my opinion, their function is more harmful than anything. Plus I just don't like the way they look.

They look dark in the pics because it's a cloudy day. Here's what they look like in the sun. The reflectors can be seen from at least 30ft back.

Yeah, the red tails never sat well with me on the LeMans color...now, I wouldn't personally do this to a black car, but that's just me....

They look really good in person and I'm very happy. They're not like blackouts because, like Bat said, you can still see the red through them quite easily. They closest thing I can think of right now is the smoked lenses on the older GTI's. Very cool look...and it makes my Z stand out!

You probably can't tell from the pics, but I have the orange/smoke turns in the rear too...it's lights up nice and yellow when the signal is on, otherwise it looks nice and smoked. Fantastic!
