Thanks dude, what do you think? I just purchased wheels & an m-kit so I
don't have the budget at the moment for the blacklines & I'm looking for a
better look in the interim.

I would try to find a good deal on a used set of blacklines or just deal with the white until you have the money. Seems like a bit of a waste to tint them when you know you want blacklines later. But its your car not me, so do what makes you happy man.

Save up for the OEM Blacklines. They're totally worth it.

I'm going to use lamin-x so its not expensive, I seriously don't like the clear look. My plan is to buy blacklines but with still having to lower the car & the fact that I am getting married this year places the blacklines very far down on my 2010 priority list. I will post pics when done.

Thanks guys!

Has anyone tried tinting the reverse light red? With a film that's red but still shows the white when lit?

Better yet, anyone try to imitate blacklines with tint? White tint with some level of opacity.

What you could try that different from everydoby else...spray wht white part red..so the whole thing is red. Ive seen it on an e92 and it looks really good

lamin-x is the right route to go for what you want to do.
