Well this was my first attempt of doing smoke on my own. I used the Pactra racing finish rc294 to do it. I made them WAY to dark to. lol They didnt come out to well. My 8k HID can barly shine through. oh well here the pics if u look closely you can see the mess ups. Im pissed cause i did the left main light good but the left corner bad and the right main bad but the right corner good

maybe a tad too dark, do the lights work ok?

Now all you need to do is match the paint on the plastic trim! It will make a huge difference, much more than any of these little things.

Also get some rims.

Does look pretty slick though.

I actually would leave it alone with no tint, clear headlights/clear corners.

its wierd cause that tint stuff when first applied gives a purple tone. then after it dries it gives off a kinda blue color.

I'd just take the lights apart and paint the chrome parts black...keep the clear lens.

You do know the dark sets are only like 180 shipped and you get black headlights and corners?

Ya pretty rediculous, all the light sellers seem to do the same thing on there, pretty sure its so they only have to refund the selling price and not "shipping." But i know a couple people who have bought them on there.
