GTR style are pretty sweet.

I had Brian (used to work at autospa on Pine Ridge) do mine. He had the same vinyl that Bat uses, so I didnt have to order and wait. Brian does good work, and is price are very fair. Send me a PM if you want his number.

Do you have your Roof and Fangs blacked out? I seen a sick White 370Z pulling off Shirley onto Pine Ridge, was that you?

Second, does anyone have any forum or google links to any our of cars with headlight tint, or tailight tint for that matter, but spec. headlight tint.

Thanks
Im getting mine re-done right now because I couldn't even see my headlights on the back of the car in front of me lolol. It look like I have Demon eyes when I turn on the headlights because the tint is so dark. I went by a cop last night and this morning and I didnt get pulled over and I am in Virginia! I am only making them lighter because I cant see at night.

I have the tails on my expedition tinted as well. I recently got pulled over by Georgia State Trooper for window tint and because the license plate frame obstructed the name of the county (total BS stop).

Windows tested legal and he didn't even mention the tail lights. I think if you get them done professionally so they look like they came that way, you will be fine.

The only issue I've ever had was when I moved from VA to MD and then had to get my Z to pass the state safety inspection. Otherwise, no problems to date in MD.
