So my car is going in to get tinted on Tuesday and everyone has been telling me to get clear corners for my car... well I dont really like the look of the clear corners but I have been thinking about getting just the side markers tinted while its in there. I'm just worried it wont look good if the headlights and tail lights aren't tinted. Anyone have any advice/pics of this?

 

i have mine tinted, it looks good.

 

I think it looks very good. Here is the most recent pic of mine with spray tint.

 

These are mine after I got them painted...

 

mine were painted as well

 

Well see I think it works for you guys because you have more black on your car, I'm not sure how it would look on a VR with stock rims and such.

 

^On a VR with stock wheels I dont think it would look very good. If you had black wheels, it would be ok. I personally still like clear corners better.

 

I agree with topgear, I think smoked corners look out of place most of the time; except like in snipaz car where it flows with the theme.

 

U guys have the oem sidemarkers tinted? Or r those clearcorners tinted?

I have my tail lights smoked and im plannin on gettin window tints n powdercoat the stock rims.

 

I just used a spray on tint and put it right over the ambers. It blends in perfectly with the body, you cant really even tell they are there. it even passes inspection!

Bad picture but you might be able to get a slight idea...


Its the only pic I got on me.

 

mine are smoked as well. IMO they look way beter then clear or amber corners.

 

I'll snap some pics when I get my car back. I have the Lamin-X gunsmoke on my headlights, had a free leftover sheet from struggling with the taillight templates (they don't work well), and decided to see how it looked on the clears. Came out fairly well.

 

my oem sidemarkers are tinted. i wanted to get away from the shape of the clear corners

 

Are you guys doing the tint yourselves or getting it done by someone else? I really like the look to your car, snipaz. Those tinted corners really set it off. I plan to get black rims here soon and want to do the same to my corners. Could you tell me how you did them?

 

take them out and spray them with spray tint. It is probably the easiest mod you will ever do.

 

corners are really easy to tint. they are almost flat. you dont even need to use baby shampoo and water. you can literally just stick them on.

dont spray though, use laminex or some other vinyl tint. its easily reversible.

 

on of the locals by me (kelrx8) does it and he did mine

 

So if I use vinyl or something I won't need a heat gun or something like that? My friends dad does window tint and could probably just give me some tint for free. That would work right??

 

this officiall made my next to do. looks soo much better on the black 8s. I didnt like th clears either, but i didnt like the stocks. im painting mine asap

 

snipaz....SEXY!
