Awesome headlight tints!
http://web.grfxpstore.com/store/Grafi-X
I ran across this website a few weeks ago and found these headlight tints that DO NOT block the headlights (for those of you worried about hindered brightness). They are cut to cover only the hideous yellow turn signals and give a very mean look to the car in my opinion. I have pictures if anyone is interested

you have them? I'd be curious to see...I think it only looks good on the type s's since the rest of the assembly is black anyway and you can't tell where the tint ends. On 04's like mine I think it would look strange.

i made homemade ones too, theyre on a type s too, so if you look from like 2+ feet away, it has this like blacked out feeling to it, but still teh very bold black look, its very dynamic contrast, very nice , better than blacked out IMO
ill post pics if anyone interested

Doesn't look half bad...but you can see what I meant in the comparison between the type s one above with the black backround and the earlier year TL above. On NBP, it's not too bad but IMO it takes away the aggressive lines of the light because it visually eliminates the long raised corner of the lights.

must be careful with tint especially if you have after market HIDs...i tinted the heads and they bubbled up a little and i took them off and the film was melted almost bc the heat of the headlight and it peeled off a layer of the plastic and looks terrible

Hmmm...technically I think HID's actually burn cooler than halogen, someone correct me...
Maybe it was the type of adhesive on the brand you put on...or if you parked in the sun for a long time. I'm not that into the tint anyway but the warning is appreciated!

you know how the fronts of all cars almost look like they have faces? well IMO, i think it changed my TL's face from a happy aggressive TL to a evil conniving TL. i wasnt anticipating the facejob but i grew to love the new look

nice, i like how it looks on white and black, i dont know about other colors. but thats my opinion, i can see how some people may prefer going through the hassle of clearing/blacking out the headlights

I got that on my TL last winter and just recently took them off and opted to black-out my headlights instead. Here are a few pictures:
I never had a problem with them except when I went to take them off. Make sure you use a hairdryer and heat them up before attempting to take the film off.

Thanks...I appreciate it. I would do the carbon fiber hood on my car, but I think there is too much contract in color. That's why it looks so good on black-it blends in better.

yea i agree with you. it looks kinda cool how it makes with the red trim on the wheels(from what it looks like?) but it does look somewhat awkward. carbon fiber grill would definitely be nice though
