not bad! im debating if i should tint my tails since im going with a smoke theme for my grigio. nice job! a BIT too dark for me tho, if i were to do it i'd probably do light to medium tint, but nonetheless, looks good!

I think it looks good. Does having the headlights tinted too effect your visibility. Would love to see pics of the cutoff with the tint now on. Im guessing this was a laminex that was put on?

Only the side of my headlights are tinted so no visibility problems at all.

Oh whoa, looks pretty good! I'm thinking of tinting my headlights as well. Might give Lamin-X a try as quite a few people are talking about them.
