Good-Bye to Amber and Silver

Yeah, I know, it's raining. This is the only day off I've had in a while. I'll try to take pics when it's sunny. NJ is sucking with weather so far this fall.

Anyway, I got this done at a popular shop in Central NJ. The smoked headlight as well as the gloss black window trim.

did they wrap the trim?

He followed the natural lines of the hood with the headlight tinting. I think it looks pretty good.

BTW, those are the matte black kidney grilles purchased from cyba.

So is there no way to get rid of the orange in the US lights? I absolutely hate it.

Not bad, better than the ugly orange!

Nice I was thinking the same but just put it over the actual amber part instead of the 1/2 way point..

IkeaBoy · 11-12-2009, 02:02 PM

i wish i could have vinyled that entire spot instead of tint. i'm pretty sure that's illegal though.
