check some before/after photos. in all i tinted my front turn signals, rear brakes, center brake, and rear side markers. the tint was 95 shipped for everything from Blue Batmobile, but also included front headlights that i decided not to put on because they (unlike brake lights) would actually affect normal lighting performance. all of the pieces were hand cut, fit great, and had really clean edges. i HIGHLY recommend this mod, and recommend Blue Batmobile's product especially because he was very easy to work with, offered a price better than everyone else around (that i asked or saw), and shipped in under three days. i apologize to Andrew for waiting sooooo long to get pics up, but between not driving the car and waiting to get the brake lights installed professionally (i did all the others, but i didn want to risk air bubbles) i took a month or two to get around to pics.

You need a better camera... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]


I've been contemplating tinting mine as well. So far I haven't gotten off the dime yet.
I have been looking at the GTS rear taillight covers so I could quickly remove them at night. The Police around here are not very understanding about things like Window Tint and Tinting the head/tail lights..

I agree with you. I tinted my rear lights and front turn signals in stealth smoke. Looks great. Have gotten nothing but compliments.

the brake lights are light tint (3/10)
the center brake, side markers, and turn signals are darker (6/10)

hey the camera isn't the best, but it doubles as my cell phone so im not complaining!

I ordered the rear set the other week from Bat to complete the look (have the front set already). They do make the car look better IMHO. Nice mod to set the car apart from the rest.

I recently installed the turn signal overlays from Blue Batmobile as well. They look great!
