I hope you are talking about for the lights.

Either way I would go for film I guess. If you spend the time, the spray tint cant come out nice on the lights but the vinyl film looks pretty good.

i actually was talking about the windows. they are practically clear, the picture makes them look tinted because of the angle. i have over $600 worth of audio stuff in my car and i'm not trying to put it on display for someone to steal.

Thanks

I would go for a film tint on your windows. I have never seen a place that does spray tint. I had my GT tinted and my Mach is going to be tinted for around $150 each. That came with a lifetime warranty. Just make sure you find a reputable shop that will back up their work.

I had a very reputable service do my tint 4 years ago, but the drivers side window is peeling from the bottom, and the passenger side is scuffed. I think it is caused from average grit, or every day build up of dirt. This place does buildings and vehicles, and I have had people stop and ask me where I had it done. But over time it has deteriorated and I plan on calling the exact same place to repair the two door windows.

I have my windows in all my cars done by Ziebart. You can get it done for $20 if you want purple windows in a week. Don't skimp, it'll cost more in teh long run.

Definitely don't skimp when it comes to stuff like this (or your car in general). Cheap tint ends up turning purple and peeling even if applied correctly.

Don't mean to hijack, but will any shop tint headlights? is it even legal? and how much will it affect lighting?
