Debating a appearance mod... Vote!

Well i've been considering Tinting eyelids the top of my projectors... here's a little pic to show ya what im thinking....

i'm considering creating an eyelid to follow the line on the projectors which would cover the 3 LED's and the turn signal. 2 materials to choose from. either:

A.) Tinting or
B.) using vinyl

Stealing your pic Bio, thanks

I recently used spray tint on my headlights but I haven't had a chance to install them yet.

So your saying that is spray tint? It looked so clean in the picture I was under the impression it was vinyl.

Spray tint can be easily removed with paint thinner if you decide that you do not like it.

it would look sweet! cause the only part of the projuectors I did not like was the top part of the light and that would be covered by the eyelid

i've actually seen someone with vinyl and despite the thickness you can still see the light through it (at night at least) not sure about during they day.

How about some Veil stealth coating on your lights. It tints them a little darker, but most importantly makes your car much harder to detect with lidar. Used with a good radar detector, it gives you more braking time. It's removable if you dont like it.

The only downside - it ain't cheap.

Once you get them back on let us know how the signal lights are for visibility during the day. I am curious as to how well the signal light will shine through.

By the way it looks really good.
