Default project blackout

no more crappy chrome cobras[:'(] .... i ordered them in black and im selling this set to gthopeful....i cant wait till they get here! lol when they come in ill put pics up....so im wondering where to go from here? i know i need to get tint for my side markers and my third brake light....is there anyways the side markers come out? if so i ill just paint them..if not ill get a tint strip....also im not sure what i want to do about my tails/heads ..... i dont want to cover up my headlights and brake lights because thats the easiest way to get pulled over around here and my car is my DD in the summer.... so im thinking i will leave my head lights the way they are (i have clear corner head lights now, no more black decal my sig just isnt updated)...and im not sure what to do about the brakes either....would 50% tint be good?

yea...i realize most people wont like the look....but its my car....if you'd like i can make another thread called "Hey lets bash my car!" then you can leave **** comments in that one and perhaps actually give me an opinion on how much if any to do my tails and what my options for headlights are

i wasnt trying to bash it

but with your head and tail lights if you are going for the black out look go with a light overlay so it does not make them stick out from the rest of the car just dont do it really dark if you dont want to take a chance

I didnt black out my wheels or headlights justto havethat little contrast. side markers do come out but can be a pain (search threads for info on that). I blacked out the tails and deleted the 3rd. In texas, the lights just have to be visible from 500ft. I say all or none, not too big on the 50%. Good luck with it though

so would 50 percent be good or should i try to find 35 or something? i got no problem tinting the headlights, if i ever get in trouble for them i have my stockers in the garage i can swap in for the inspection....idk about tinting my tails though, so im thinking 50% on the tails or should i just get covers and risk havin to pull them off?

cant really see it that well but it looks like the side markers are still red on that one. Nice though
