is this too rice

I made these at work (eye lid tints, taillight tints, and marker light tints). I also added flat black vinyl to the front chin spoiler to add some contrast.

I did the same thing on my front Aspec except mine is painted. The tints are pretty cool looking with the lines in them. Where do you work that you can just whip these up at work?

I work as a graphic designer at a sign shop... we usually slow down in the winter season so I had the time to design these up and Get them where they needed to be as far as look and color

Your tints are good, especially the side markers. They blend in well with the color of your TL.

They don't look rice, but I'm against tinting any type of light.

I like the dark lip on the spoiler. tints look good, too. But I prefer not to decrease my light output with tints.

Just a note...I tinted my front headlights with 20% vinyl, and later on it developed stress cracks all over the turn signal area. I had to take mine off. Keep a look out for it. It might help if you modify the turn signal bulb so it doesn't light up with the parking lights, but only with the actual turn signal.
