Personally I love the tinted look in the back.

Why don't you try to revert to stock headlights?
I think it would look fantastic.

Hmmm, makes your car look like some one stole your headlights and fogs.

I think perhaps if you put a CF ring trim around the headlights and remove the tint, it would complement nicely with the back. A lighter tint on the fogs would be nicer too, IMO. A CF piece on the mirrors would also complement the black out theme.

As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

I do not think I would like less light coming out of my headlight and brake lights. I want people to see me at night....isn't tinting these dangerous?

That remind me 20 years ago, I did that on my Honda Si.
That's a Porsche not a rice rocket, take out your headlights keep your tail lights on. My 2 cents.

You guys are being harsh to this fella, don't you think? He's said the whole time it was just a whim, a weird thing, that's reversible and didn't cost much. I hate it. I hate the look totally. But we don't need to attack him like he hurt the car or anything. Just peel the crap off and try something else. It'd be different if he hurt the car on something equally as ugly, but he didn't. No harm, no foul, right?
