Headlight & Taillight tint
Having trouble deciding on what Blue bat mobile tint to go with for my 05 DG g35x sedan. I am very noob so I was unsure which one's fit my headlight taillight and what would look the best.
Mostly looking for opinions and links on what you guys think looks good, because I'm really clueless! I am not sure if I dig the cutout look or full tint 6/10. Heres 2 pics of current ride and link to Blue bat mobile!

Thunder Bay! I haven't found any other members on here from Tbay yet!
Thanks for your opinion, just don't have alot of money for any bigger mods rite now so was just itching to do something that won't cost a ton without going ricer lmao.
I was thinking maybe painting my rear emblems to match the color of my grille but can't seem to have many pics. And I may regret it after :P

In my opinion, tinting out lights is kinda leaning that way.
I know most will disagree, but the cars i tend to see tinted lights on the most usually have some sort of fart-cannon hanging off the rear too. It's a trend that's just way too overdone.
Holy **** you're far North.
Red Demon I believe is somewhat local to you. Red coupe with red wheels and some craziness.

Thanks I think I'll avoid tint and wait till I find someone to help me paint the inside of my front headlights black, or at least assist me.
It can be done and look nice, just depends on the car. But as always, do what you like and don't worry about others' opinions
It's very different, tinting lights is a safety hazard, lowering usually is not.
And even more of 350Z guys do.For the safety issue, I used to think that as well, but now I think it may even be safer than not tinted (as long as you're using VHT). I can't speak for other paint, but the VHT is definitely transparent and does not block light. Even when the light looks pitch black. The only thing it may be blocking are the side reflectors on the light.
Often I find myself behind older crappy cars in the daylight with standard taillights and it's hard to tell when they're braking if the sun is shining on their car. In that case I think it would be easier to see if they were tinted because of the red/black contrast.
Just an observation.
A lot of people cut their spring mounts here And even more of 350Z guys do.

No your argument is useless there, VHT is barely transparent. When it's put on thin, it goes brown and blotchy, when it's black it's too thick to let any light out. On our cars we're lucky to have LED tails which can cut through almost anything (still not VHT though) I almost rear ended a douche wad in a coupe with VHT'd tails about 3 days ago. You may think from standing 5 feet from it you can see the lights perfect, but the light output is barely there.
If you want to do this, do it the right way not the $10 way. Take them to a body shop and have them sprayed with reduced black.
Oh cutting the spring mount adjusts the spring rate to an unknown and unsafe quantity? Right...

Sounds like the guy was not using VHT... I know I can see my turn signals perfect (which are not LED's either by the way) when I turn them on and they're completely black when off.
