I can recess them but then you wont get the effect of the led as much. It will be just a dull light.

Alot of people have tried this mod on other cars and it doesnt look nearly as good as you have done it. IMO it looks OEM on the 8. x8tuner that is a really good job.

BTW that Z in your sig, is nice. I see an intercooler in there. One of my favorite cars.

i agree it looks pretty good but you have to get approval before advertising/selling goods/services on this forum. so i'd probably do that really soon

Thanks I removed the tint a few days ago because I got a ticket. So the cop said if I got it off within 48 hours I wouldnt have to pay the ticket. No biggie considering the ticket was $175 and I sprayed the tints for $10.

I have never had headlight covers but I would think that they can get torn from rocks and debris. I think the clearcoat on sprayed lights would protect better. After a while headlight covers would look like crap from the beaten its taken.

I advise not to use light overlays. A plastic film over the headlights prevents the headlight to expand and contract to different weather temps, this creating lots of stress cracks that can only be seen with the film off.
