      well the blue GTR i have no idea how they did it it looks like a profe-- tint job.

      however when i had the tint on my 323 i just used the the tint spray, but dont clear coatt it. that way in months time if yo dont like it. it will fade away in the wash.

        The stuff is called "VHT Nite Shades"... There are other alternatives, for instance, Spray Window Tint... but I just went and conformed with the other people on the internet who said that it was the best stuff...

        In all honesty... Who is to detemine what is proffesional... its like the easyest thing to do ever... As long as you take your time, and make it actually worth doing... it should look "proffesional"... I guess....

                    Yeah... check your local laws.. but I'm pretty sure any obstruction to any of your lights in not legal... but If they arent too dark I dont think that any PoPo Will say anything...

                              how do you think it would look if i just tinted the ambers on the front and back?

                              i like the white-black-red idea...
