Default Tinting SHR 1/4 Louvers

I just ordered a pair of these louvers and was wondering if it is possible to tint the inside of them. I know its lexan but I was wanting to tint them because the rest of my windows are pretty dark and I think it would look weird to be able to see completely through the back louvers but not through any other windows.

If I can't tint them, do you have any other suggestions on how to darken them up..

i would think you could tint them but if you cant just use some vinyl. you can get it in a transparent black(smoked)

Good news.. I had heard that you can't tint plastic.. I tried to get the windshield of my R6 tinted and the place I went said they wouldn't do it beacuse it would mess up the plastic. I mmight go with the smoke vinyl just because I could do that myself..

I actually plan on installing them myself. I ordered all the stuff to do it and by reading what some people on here have written, it seems like a doable job. Probably not that easy but definitely doable..

Hey guys, first set of SHRlouvers here. lol. Anyways, I thought the same thing and tried tinting them because my painter did such a crappy job. they bubbled and looked awful. So I pulled it off.

that's what the tint guy said would happen with my motorcycle windshield. What do you think about the vinyl though. Is that possible without bubbling??

I was wondering the same thing because I havea set of these on order also. I was thinking about the spray tint that you use for plastics, maybe that would work.
