oh snap, that does look mint. i dont know if thats the effect im after though.
did you use plastidip for your blackout too?

what does it look like at night with the lights on, any chance of a photo?

my only concern about the nightshade is gettin it off if i screw it up or if a get defected. are you going to do your rear lights?

Doing that on your front headlights is completely illegal. It would only be a matter of time before you get picked up for it.

That will be adding heaps of diffusion to your headlights, reducing their effectiveness and output.... It's just unsafe.

Rear lights have the same rules that apply, but as mentioned - you can get away with some light tinting... The example from Marak would probably get past, and looks pretty good - whereas Dirtee's is nearly completely blacked out and would be reducing the light output by a huge amount.

there is a fair bit of diffusion of light so i dont think il keep it on the headlights much longer.
