Wow, you actually had a film tint put on? Interesting approach, but looks very clean and not as dark as paints normally come out. Nice.

Yes, that is a great look with the use of film tint.

Looks good, the only problem is tint is supposed to be installed on the inside of a car, it's not made for outside use...I wonder if it will hold up against the snow/wind/rain? Did you ever check to see which company made the rims or did you just go by what the shop said? They look identical to mine.

Lookin good 
what kind of wheels are those?
SO, you had a ... tint film placed over the red portions of your lights? It sounds like that is different from what other peoples usually do to 'smoke' their lights. Im guessing other peeps actually paint their lights in some fashion to get it really dark/black? Im a newbie on this whole black lights thing.... could someone break it down for me?

To break it down, you just buy sheets of film like 24x12 of smoke film and cut it to the shape you want and put it on. I tried doing it to a friends car with pre-cut to fit his G35 head lights but it was the wrong size. I recomend just buying the rolls from like stickercity.com and cutting them yourself. Its like 30 a tail light for the film.
I thinking about putting the smoke on my white C320 sedan. If anyone has any thoughts on smoking another color car other than black please share.
