I have a picture somewhere without the lights on - with the flash from the carmera, you can still see the reflectivness of the corners - so I don't think there is much in terms of legal issues!
I used a spray on tint - can get them from Lordco(in Canada) I'm sure most places should carry it in the States!
Thanks for the feedback!!

The colors inside of the main headlights have also been messed with right? They are clear instead of orange turn signals. I'm talking about the huge lights not the little ones on the side... Is it easy to do that because it looks A LOT better then the stupid orange?

ya you can buy the legal "stealth amber chrome turn signal bulbs" and the "clearcorner stealth bulbs" here (where i bought there from)
https://www.rx8garage.net/?page=shop...2e9f5af5ca992&
Very easy install, takes about 10-15 minutes for the headlight bulbs, but u need small-medium sized hands.

The grill itself is functional, the chrome trim is cosmetic!!
