I did BigWorm's full kit. Headlights, tail lights, side markers front and rear and the trunk. I don't have a current pic of I don't think, but if you come out to the Friday night meet or Sunday cruise/photoshoot you check out what it looks like on the Sterling Grey.

How much did he charge for the full kit? I'm only looking at trunkm, and sides.. dont have grille fogs and don't really feel the need to blackout the headlights/taillights!

It's cheap. I did everything and it was around $100 bucks. I think for you want to do it's much cheaper. I installed it myself, but if you want to drive out there they will install it for you.

Don't put tint on the projector lens of your fog lights. Get a set of 5K HIDs if you want that look.

You're welcome. That's why we're all here. :)

Leave the kid alone and let him do as he wants. I'm sure he's thinking its a temp thing until he can afford some real HID's. Keep in mind his age, he probably barely has enough money for gas, Taco Bell and date night. lol

Literally why i'm looking at tint, $600 a month car payment and Discount Tire is cutting hours due to winter... wanting to give it a little change up and blue is my favorite color. I plan on doing HIDs once i have the funds until then i want a idea of what it'd look like! Thanks for understanding haha

Thats what i want to do, but having family financial problems due to hospitalization recently and this is a cheap "mod"/change up to give me a idea to see if i'd like it or not for the future! Thanks for the input on it though, appreciate it! :)

Not to mention if it is too blue it's illegal...

Even if it's just a very light blue hue tint??

Agreed. 5000K in the projectors should still be reasonable. 6000k is starting to get blue. Smaller housings tend to make the color a little more blue than a larger housing (headlight).

The glass is already so concave, I don't know how the light will react with the vinyl. It may refract a lot, maybe not at all. I guess it's worth it. But David may have a hard time getting something cut so small on that curved of a surface.
