A very nice job all round .

Thanks both never tinted the tail lights on any of my cars before. Not that I hated it or anything but never had an interest in it. But after seeing it on a rather nice Caledonian v8 ZT I thought I'd try it out its one of those things that will only suit certain colours, really like it on this firefrost but wouldn't do it on the typhoon as it just wouldn't look right.

I don't like wind deflectors above the windows on any car they're just something I've never liked but apart from that the rest looks excellent. The car is a perfect colour for the tints and modifications. Great work.

Looks good Rick

I had sprayed tinted rear lamps on my first zt, I was told as long as the reflector reflects then its fine, makes sense cos if you have a power failure at night then any vehicle coming from behind will see the reflectors.

Cheers mate yes thats right. The reflectors still have to be visible so passing cars can see them if parked on a dark road just checked mine and they're still visible.

Done a bit more tinting yesterday. The front indicators needed tinting as they now just didn't look right with the rest of the car, as I have smoked side repeaters as well. The indicators alone didn't look right, so tinted the fogs as well and now looks well

Indicators are still nice and bright as well.

Before:



After:









Also passed its MOT today with the tints

It looks fantastic!
I'm loving the etched headlights! Really unique!

Think you have just the right amount of bling and mods on there for my liking.

But as already been said, your car, your rules!

Cheers The lens etching I've been wanting to do for some time, the pics just don't do them justice.

Just giving it a more aggressive look. The red and black theme seems to work well.
