Muffler delete. Wanted to make it sound a little mean till I did my exhaust. Looking at the GT500 rear valance and exhaust.

I put the tint on my side markers and 3rd brake light in about 15 mins or so for all 5 it is really easy just have a spray bottle with a soap and water mix and your good to go follow the directions I didn't need a heat gun at all make sure you wrap the supplied squeegee with a microfiber towel to help prevent scratching and your gtg.

It's illegal in Texas but they'll typically use the tinted lights as an excuse to pull you over if they want access into your car to check for drugs, drinking, warrants etc. Like when I was pulled over two weeks ago but not for my tint...I was hauling *** and flew by a cop sitting in the median of the road. I didn't see him till it was too late and knew I was busted. I pulled over before he even turned his lights on. What did he tell me when he approached my window? "Ma'am the reason I pulled you over is because in the state of Texas you're required to have a front license plate. Hahaha. It was really hard not to say to him "soooo what really happened is you were distracted by either playing on your phone or computer and couldn't clock my speed but it was obvious to you I was driving like a bat outta hell so you used my license plate violation to pull me over to make sure my insurance was current and I had no warrants cause you couldn't get me on the speeding and you wanted to look like you were doing your job instead of watching **** in your patrol car. He was actually nice, I got a warning.

Nice job on the tinties. A change to silverstars for us non-hid folks is a must after this - have to say with the silverstars and tint, I get better light output then no tint and the stock bulbs.. So says my garage wall.
