new tint and red corners...

i've had my tint for a few weeks now but i am just getting round to posting the pics of it! and i also changed the corners to red instead of amber.......i like they way they turned out.....its a wee bit different from the clear corners....they were my next choice :-)

enjoy!

andrew
p.s. the tint ones were taken a few weeks ago so i dont have the red lights...i will try to take some tomorrow though...

Where did you get those red corners? I have not seen those. I much prefer them to the clear on the red 8!!!

Ditto on the tint. Looks sweet...But be careful...That looks Way darker than 35% on the fronts.

How bout some pics from inside looking out... do you now see the world thru rose colored glass (es)? I looked at this color tint but didn't dare do it yet.

Pls show us. Thanks.

hi, il take some pics from the inside tonight, it is actually very easy to see out......im not going to say what % it is, hehe ubt it is quite dark!.........and the corners, i removed them from the car and used masking tape and taped off evrything apart from the amber lens.....and i then applyed two or three coats of a spray paint that i bought in hobby lobby, it was a special type of industrial paint...it was a glaze paint...we used this same paint on celica taillights about two years ago and it is still perfect.....

Pics of my Ti with new tint

Got my Ti tinted today. I don't know what they used, I wanted a chrome tint but they wouldn't do it because that is for houses and if someone turns the light on inside at night you end up seeing nothing but 360 degrees of yourself. That could be bad.

I like how it came out, but because the safty glass has a green tint, any reflective tint you use comes out looking a little green. He said he could use a black tint but I don't want black and cops would probably hassle me.
