Something I was interested in as I have matte gray with the night pack so the chrome handles look a little out of place with all the other black trim.
Sure buddy ☺ Originally i was doing gloss black. I have the ed1 pretty much all black and the car is Grey that why i decided the chrome black.. looks nice over all in person

Your rear lights look sick...

I used a $10 light smoke vinyl tint. Just wanted something removable, but it was a thick vinyl and was difficult to apply.

If you were still looking to tint your lights, the film that I sell/use can actually make some tail lights glossier than they were before. For example, on this Auid, it seems like the tail lights had faded out considerably or even looks like they had been sanded at one point to try and make them shiny again. However, without any prep work at all, with my film applied on the lights, it completely changed the look of the lights from dull to a nice tinted gloss finish.
