    Default Yay or Nay?

    I decided to tint my headlights today and I thought they really add to the car. Ive got a good bit of mods waiting to be put on the car, but im waiting till the spring.

    Id like to get some opinions on how these look.

    True true, it didnt cost me anything really at all so its not a big loss if I decide to take it off. Knowing me and how I am, ill get tired of it by weeks end. lol

    Its just film, its not painted so I can go back to stock whenever.

    It might look orange on your computer. I just snapped these really quick and adjusted the WB in PSCS2 half assed.

    it's kind of hard to tell judging from the picture. i thought the car was orange at first, but then i realized it was actually red. maybe a picture in the daytime would show it off better?

    I wanna see more pics. I'd say the cars look so much better just baking and painting the headlight housings. I dont really like it, plus I've driven around in an ex's mustang with tinted headlights and it was a bitch to drive at night.

    i like both.. but id probably leave them stock.. i like tinting tailights, not so much headlights. you already have black housing in your headlight, so it already looks dark.. i like it stock.. but it doenst look bad in anyway.

    If you have the front shaded alittle lighter then I think it would good. Cus you still want to see some definition of the design of the housing it self. Id say get it lighter it would look hot.

    I thought it looked pretty cool, but I guess I prefer the rears tinted. I think that the yellow tint would look nice though.
