hey fellas, was doing some photochopping the other day and wondered how my front lights would look slightly tinted, i thought it looked pretty good.

so i went outside and tinted them, let them dry and voila, i honestly love the look, looks freeken MEAN AS now, only problem is, well, i want parras:P but seeing this now, im like...this looks just as good, but saving myself $330.

Rssid is going to some trouble to get these and i said i would get them, i dont like going back on my word but its a large sum of money to ooooo and arrrrr about.
i couldnt do a proper chop of some parras on my car, they all came out looking wrong.

so just some opinions, should i leave the car as is? or fork out the $$ for some parras?

(BTW, i only sprayed the headlight covers, not the actuall lens:P)

Cheers!

(2nd BTW, this IS A PHOTOCHOP, BUT my car looks identical to this in real life, as i havent had a chance to take a photo im using this.)

If this is only on the cover then get the paras and put them behind it, it WILL look better, if you dont like em just sell them to someone on here

looks good, but yea, during the night or when u dont have the covers on.. no parras!:cry:

also.. its only a matter of time until you get done by the cops..
i use my covers rarely.. and take em off if i go somewhere i know there are going to be cops around..

fair enough....who wants to contribute to the TUFFTR Parabolics fund? :P
yeah i am sceptical this might make me a target for cops.....parras would be the better alternative

The front with the tinted headlight covers looks very mean. :badgrin:

But like others have said - very defectable. Will attract the Police then they'll find other things. However, I don't think I've been through a Road Worthy yet without being pulled in - in a stock or modified car :doubt:
(yet to happen in the Magna tho lol )

IMO I'd get PARA's and then keep these for when you want the car to look cool or for photos.

TUFFTR, when do you find time for all this ?

tint plus eyelids look sweet mate. Good if they're just on the covers that way you can take them off whenever.

i was thinking of doing somthing similar to my car. i love paras...but $300+ is a bit pricey...so i thought of masking 2 circles on the covers, then spraying them. that way u wont lose as much visibility at night...and ul get a similar effect as paras. its just a cheap way out dude!

btw...great job, i think it looks mad!

thanks dood!!!

actually, light goes right through the covers, it still blocks a bit, but the majority of light passes through, trick is, you dont want to make then SUPER DARK, just, a light black...

Hah, i'm sure he had more important things to worry about than your lights. But seriously, you'd want to get it checked out, better than a defect/fine/impounded car. Even if you take the light out and borrow someoen elses car, take it to the cop shop and show them?
