You're gonna have to forgive how dirty the car is. haven't had time to wash it in ages. Once I do i'll take some better pics :) (with a better cam than my cellphone)

Of course my niteshades died on me after the first 10 seconds.. I swear.. I have some sorta 'painting-curse' haha.. Luckely I had some RC body window tint (RC249 if I remember correctly) but that stuff is way runnier than niteshades.. If the sun hits it at a certain angle it looks like a dark-dark-dark-black/red.. which I think the niteshades on the back actually does the same thing. You can still see some of the headlights etc lights through it , but of course it's really unusable at night with how dark I went. Luckely they come off in 5 seconds so this works for me!

That looks good. Take pics of the house so I can see if you did the windows on it too! LOL Once you got it mastered there was no stopping you.

Holy crap those are dark! They look pretty sweet though.

I got mine used (like new condition) for $60au shipped and I have to say, they are 100% worth the cost that is charged for them new (just over $100 I think)

Huh! The stock G8 headlights are made from Lexan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexan "Lexan is similar to polymethyl methacrylate (Plexiglas/Lucite/Perspex) and is commonly described as acrylic in appearance, but is far more durable, often to the point of being described as "bulletproof", depending on the thickness of the sample and the type of weapon used. Just my opinion, but since "headlights" are apparently there to provide light so the driver can see & be seen, I'm puzzled as to why anyone would want to darken the lens.

Oh....wait....unless, of course it's just "cool". In that case......MY BAD! :p

[Steve]

haha yeah.. I wanted the cool blacked out LOOK (on sunny days) but still be able to actually SEE at night.. hence the removable covers :) I haven't even had them on last couple of days with the crappy weather..

[R.Penguin]

AH!

[tazjetman]

looks really nice. im glad they are removable tho, because those are DARK!
