Just let me know when you have some time, so we can get mine done.

Looks great.

Couple of questions.

1. Do you have any up close pics??

2. Do they have any orange peel on them, IE choppy looking finish??

Good job, I'm thinking about doing this to my headlights to complement my vinyl tinted tail lights.

You've definately inspired me. haha

Doin a small tint will make them look of anything more blueish than gray. I'm there is not any choppiness in the rear or the front. However you can see the tint spray in the front since it's not too tinted.

Don't tint headlight or tail lights, just be really cool and paint them jet black! 'Course, you wont be able to see anything at night and crash, plus anyone behind you could rear end your car too, but hey, it looks cool and that's what really matters!

What do you mean by scratch? with the sand paper? if so is it dry or wet? and is that for the clear coat to stick to the light?
PS i noticed you live in texas have you had any problems with cops stopping you for your lights? im doing my fog lights and am a little weary about the tail lights because of the laws.
Thanks for your help!
