they're actually 02+ taillights blacked out with 35% rockblocker film. If I were to do it again, i'd go with the lighter 25% film because the darker one reduces light output dramatically during the day.

Uh ... you realize tint is measured by how much light is allowed to pass through, right? So a 25% tint is 10% darker than a 35% tint. You mean you should have ordered the 50% tint?

I believe what he said is correct, as far as Rockblocker goes. I think they do it the wrong way for some reason...

yea rockblocker measures the darkness of their film strangely, so the 35% is darker than their 25%. As far as light output goes, the turn signals can be seen fine. The brake lights are the ones that are the hardest to see. Yea, i'd opt for the lighter film.

Did someone say CL-S door handles come in black and fit a gen2 TL?
My chrome/plastic cover on the driver outside handle is flaking off, and the choices are replace the handles or go with vinyl overlay.
What have you guys tried?

Just washed my baby so will get pics with the black headlights and other stuff and add here. Does removing the intake resonator box count as
-blacked out
