Don't do it Tim! Although your dark theme has worked great so far, too much black is a bad thing. If you tinted the headlights it would detract from your unique painted housings.

I just painted the housings in my IS300 and it made a world of a difference- the car looks 10x more aggressive.

I'd say no ttrank. The overlays would take away from the paint and your halo's wont be as bright. I love my overlays, but if i wasnt afraid of messin something up, i'd take mine apart and paint em gloss black in a heartbeat.

Just say NO!! to tint, I put it my car (front and rear) and immediately removed them. It took away from the car. I saw pics of IP coupes and liked the look but it didn't work for my sedan. Your ride definetly does NOT need it. Your car has a clean look to it (especially your light setup), don't take away from it. Worst case scenario, you tint it and then remove it.

It's easy as hell to do. If I was able to do this, anybody can. Just put them in the oven for 18 minutes @ 215 degrees, then pull them apart and bring them to your body shop. Have them paint it, put them back in the oven, and you're done.

Why would you want to take away from the intensity of the light when you went through the trouble of putting in S2000's?
