Fly eyes are what most people in uk seem to use to effectively tint there lights,,, as they stop very little or no light at all hitting the road whereas a plain tint would dim your light,
These are typical vinyl but with hundreds of holes (like a flys eye) so it still gives the light out fine but the effect of a black headlight

No thumbs up? Could it be you took a beautiful shiny new car with great contrast points and dulled everything out with flat black so it blends into a blob?
Everyone has thier own taste and opinion, but this direction is a disappointment a large majority of the time, almost going backwards from a visual standpoint (just my opinion).
Good luck, maybe the wrap will change all that? Are you still headed in that direction?

I think it looks great! I have the luxury version as well, and have been interested in going the 'Blacked Out' route. What process did you use to black out the grille? What process did you use to black out the rear bumper trim? Also, what wheels are those?

OK - just spray everything with plasti-crap - it is the new (old murdered) trend....
