Crystalite headlamp coating!?!?
It looks pretty good, saw it for the first time in the Project car magazine. I didnt buy the magazine though cause im cheap/poor so wasnt able to get the whole info. Has anyone tried, or contemplated trying this? It looks pretty awesome and not as restrictive to light as a vinyl overlay.

You're better off simply applying some yellow tint! At least then you look like a Le Mans race car!
