found some videos on youtube about tinting tail/head lights. looks pretty awesome. but i am worried that it will ereduce the effectiveness of the lights. is it just as permeable to light, or would this be a bad idea

this tint kit for headlights guarantees not to reduce light output. It's a pretty mild tint:

Tinting tails, as far as I know, always reduces output.

+1 that product is great, and its a easy application as well.

So it's not a spray or a film? Easy to apply? Might need to get up on that.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
