Any1 have any problem running 20% tint on the headlights and taillights? Kits being installed end of this week and i'm just seein if any problems or tickets have been given, thanx!

 

i hear over time it cracks the head lights because of the heat it traps in...but there are guys on here who have it had it on for years with zero problemos...i thinks it looks badass...

 

Hey...why not do it the right way. Go to tech one and have both smoked. No overlay/tint and a professional job. The shade is to your discretion. In the past I went the cheap way and did the tint but after time it faded, crack spots..etc. Tech one (Ryan), smoked my headlights and tails.....perfect job and shade of my desire. Not too dark for cops to notice...but noticable from stock. They can completely black it out if that is what you want. I Dont have the tails anymore, replaced with JDM clears. Hey, just mentioning another option

 

I have gotten a ticket for dark tails... Actually it was just a part of a really fat ticket. I've learned my lesson (rock the front plate, no tinted tails, and recon) - state owns me.

Do what u want, but expect to get caught. I used to listen to the stories of people who have been getting away with **** for xxx long, blah blah. What they don't mention is how often they drive, where they drive, how modded their car really is, etc. And when u do get caught... Well the ticket I mentioned earlier was for over $400.

 

ive had mine on for a whileee...i like em...just dims the headlights alot, other than that no porblems

 

DAMN!!!! i forgot about ryan, anyone have his number for techone??? i completely forgot about him....damn it all...but then again i plan to completely black it out, so i may stick with tint just in case i do get my first ticket, i can get it removed....but if u got his number joe, it'd be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

PM'd you his number.

 

hmmm........... i wonder how this is gonna effect me when i bring my car there since i have tinted tail....

but yeah like silkz03 said do it the right way if you gonna do it....... havin it done professionally done is the only way to go

 

what kit are you talking about ?

 

by kit i meant overlay kit, but i'ma tint my tails and backup lights and just leave the fronts stock, hey joe, how much did he charge u for ur tails? he's qoutin me bout $150 for the whole backside.

 

Yep! thats good!. I had my backup lights already tinted and got charged that price for just the tails...so you doing good. Oh, and they looked perfect, like Nissan had smoked them from the jump. So if you go that route you wont be sorry. I didn't go too dark but dark enough to be noticable next to a stock Z with no tint/smoke. Good luck!

 

ty ty, i'll post once i get them done, i'll be goin for a lil darker look, jus enough so it won't give off a dark bronze like look at some angles

 

Any pics of them yet Ricky?

 

no i'm in cali right now, i'ma try to get it done friday but i'm also plannin to move into a house that day or the weekend, so it might be sunday or next weekend before i'll get the Z blacked out, i'ma only do the rear tails and backup housings to a nice dark black prolly, then just keep the front stock

 

i had mine on for about a year i wouldnt do it just because your going to get stress cracks from the insulated heat wont effect the tail lights but its not as bright and you can only see cracks at night doesnt look bad but id rather go with blacked out lights with all the reflectors removed next time and as for police havent been pulled over yet for em
