Default Headlight+Tail light tinting

was wondering which way to go..got an estimate at a Tint shop and they said 400 dollars n they'l tint windows and all lights, otherwise i saw theres like spray stuff you can get for the lights, any thoughts on that, and if do go that way and not happy with it can it be removed with ruining the lights.. or is it a permanent thing.

Try Lamin-x.com they have awesome color tinting for all your front /rear lighting , I really like the ones I got for my fog lights ( the blue tint) is really nice , easy to install and looks sharp, give them a try.

$400 dollars to tint your windows. That is way to much to pay. Even by California standards. When I had mine done it cost me for all of my windows a little over $100s. I think I would shop around.

I tinted my own Taillights and windows lol....I dont trust some areas though there is a place down by me that'll do it all for about $150 to $200.
And I heard and saw they did a GREAT JOB.....There in La Crosse Wisconsin and go by the name ( Autotude ).
That 350 to 400 is very HIGH of a price.

Tint the headlights and tail lights yourself. Autobadges.com sells the precut stick on kind for the headlights and tail lights....

I got an estimate for my car and it was $150 for all the windows to the legal limit. So your price is probably a little high.

tinted lights are around 150 for both brand new and windows should be somewhere around that so 400 is too high

There's a sticky thread in the 5.0 section about tinting your own taillights.
