Sure. We can have a naughty tinting party at Driven Dynamic. Might wait for like 2 weeks since I have to give my headlights to Goofball for him to roll around town while his headlights are getting done.

I would go with Smoke or Charcoal and are you doing just the headlights or all the other lights to?

I'm about to do all the lights.

I have some glue/advesive remover that will be safe to use if you want to pull them off sometime.

So the tint idea doesn't work. Had Driven remove the tint today and asked the Md Storm Trooper if I could bring a picture with the tint, negative, they have to do a walk around the car and confirm the VIN in order to sign off. He signed off on it after I brought it to him.

I had charcole or roughly the equivalent of 30 percent and I did not flow at all even with tints. that's being said I got them replaced with the headlight recall and was very happy since the headlight tint is extremly thick(thicker than clear bra) and requires it tp be cut on the lens, which when removed would have left marks. IMHO leave it the way it is or get the housing color matched

I'm gonna go with smoke. I want to keep the subtle but mean look. I'm waiting to swap my current headlights with another member before going in for the tint though. So no picture for a few weeks.
