welcome to the boards. please search. the topics have been discussed many times before. I even made a DIY in the DIY section on how to do black housings and there is a vendor on the board that sells the tints.

please search, as many of your questions have probably been asked before.

The GTS blackouts or whoever makes those, the big plastic blackouts are I love my tl tints, they're subtle, and they don't look crappy IMO. They make my back end look smooth cuz it's black on black, and you can still see through em.

I don't really like them on primrose, unless the car is tinted and has black wheels. I liked it on the gold "champagne" car someone posted a while back only cuz it matched the tint, has to flow with other features.

Its so easy to do yourself man. Dont be intimidated. You wont break anything, as long as your careful. You just cant force anything. All you do is take the lights apart and paint the housings...
