Are the tails in the pic photoshop'd? To me they are way too dark as shown on the IR body color. On the tail end they stick out like sore thumbs without something else to tie them into cosmetically. A lighter tint maybe around 50% that still shows a hint of the lens color through it could look better I think. But hey this is coming from a guy with wierd chrome rims! :lol:

Don't put shapes in your tailights. It just looks gay looking.

I don't think round would flow. How about a rectangular strip about 1/2 down. The strip would be lighter/no tint, going horizontally across the lens. Start it on the body side, about an inch in, mimic the angle of the lens, then stop it about an inch from the trunk side of lens.

What are you using to do the tint job? And, isn't 5% almost "limo" tint? I thought the % referred to the amount of light that passes or something. ie. 5% is much darker than 40% etc.

I have nothing to do today, still stuck in Kabul, so I will try and photo chop up some thing fer ya.

Cheers,
Tim

Past tense baby! The S1 handed out our "6 pack" a couple days ago when we were clearing Phoenix.

What other lic. options do you know of? ie. Bronze Star?

Cheers,
Tim
