I like the headlight covers clear like they are, its cool to see the lights hidden inside.

yep heres a link... i think a thin coat just to tint them black a little bit would be super badass. if you wanted..... you could get the glass tinted by a professional like 5% to give the effect that they are regular T/A flaps, but you would need some bright *** fog lights to compensate for the dimmed light behind the tinted glass. i think itd be badass tho.

hmm...im not sure, I kinda like the look of clear seeing into it really well. It does catch your eye and stand out this way. But I love to stealthy look of being tinted. Ill see what others think. Oh yea, these are plexi, with 90degree creases where they mount. Plus i dont think heating the tint on them would be that good of an idea, nightshades would be the way to go.

You can get it to different darkness levels depending on how many coats.

i dont think the tint would be a problem if u went this way. its a wet it down, lay it on and squeegee it out procedure, so install wouldnt be bad, and as far as the heat from the lights.... idk think about defrosters in the winter and especially on rear glass, my defroster is on every morning and no problems with my tint. your car, but deff consider it, i think itd be badass if you could handle the downfalls of the tinting. badass either way!!!!

It would get rock chips like a mother ******... and its not gonna cure the same as it would on glass... Plus the defroster runs of lines of electrity, not beams of light.

I think VHT would be your best bet, but then again anything on the front takes the risk of rock chips.

Either can I. Im putting decals on my rear window of companys from who ive purchased from in search of getting discounts from them, and i want to put a big pc.com one on too. I was driving the other day and seen my shadow on the ground...OMG! it gave me a new idea for a pc.com decal, it should have a raised cowl hood incorporated in the outline....i think it would look bad***. Im getting equipment to do silk screening for shirts as well.
