Smoked my signals...

Just installed my dark smoke headlight/signal tints. They couldn't be easier to install and fit like a glove, now that they are installed i almost think they should have come this was from the factory!

Pics before:





and pics after...







i'm all about the "little" touches with this car, I think they flow well with the overall darker look of the Type-S. what do you guys think?

Hard to tell at this point.

You need to take shots away from the car at multiple angles, without the sunlight directly on the corner of the headlight.

Rocket,

Nice job...they look great. I got some for my headlights and I really like them too. They look excellent on your KBP. You might give some thought to doing it to your side mirrors too.

Looks good, not too dark. Not bad for overlays. I tinted my internal diffusers, I went too dark now I have to redo them. I also did my deck lid bezel/reverse lights.

I ordered the smoke version. I hope it's not too light. Maybe I should've gone with dark smoke instead.

the ones i ordered are specifically cut for the TL headlights so you know they are going to fit perfectly, you just have to spray them with a water / soap solution, slap them on and "push out" the bubbles and wrinkles...really easy.

I think I will stick with the smoke version since I don't want the amber to be too dark. I already have black out headlights so I don't want the whole headlight to be dark. I'll post the results here so a comparison can be made between the two.

another small little touch, i've been trying to add something to the side of the TL, always thought it looked a little too plain.





Subtle...yet goes back to my EM1 roots...

I got mine in the mail today and somewhat disappointed in them. The overlays are more than 1" too short lengthwise. I have to email them and hopefully they will send me a replacement.
