Tinted the white part of my tail lights

35% tint from ebay seller extremevinyls http://www.ebay.com/itm/380233339677...84.m1439.l2649

$14.95 shipped, installed myself in 10 minutes. No hairdryer needed. Just some degreasing, soapy water, and squeegie. Matches my smoked sidemarkers perfectly.

forgot to take a before picture, so found one on the web of someone else's Palladium Silver C63 (MHP hope you don't mind):

That number plate blocks sooooo much of your radiator! How can they expect drivers to put that on the front of there car...

It's fine. there's a lot of space on each side and I left a gap underneath. It's supposed to be on the front bumper but I ziptied it to the grill instead.

Nice mod on the tails! I did the same on my car, but with tint spray.. I wasn't sure if the film would last. Mine has been holding strong for 2 years now.
