Received and installed pre-cut Lamin-X yellow vinyl tints for the headlights this past weekend.
...What an absolutely frustrating experience! I spent 3hrs trying to get smooth, flat coverage over the headlights, but the angular and bulbous parts of the headlight made it impossible and ended up with lots of bubbles and wrinkles/fingers. ![]() So now I need to schedule some time a pro tint installer and have them do it stead (along with smoke tinting the taillights). Now with the tinted yellow headlights and the ultramarine color, the overall dynamic of the car is different...Don't know if shiny silver wheels fits this dynamic, might have to rethink something darker like the Rota Grids in hyper black.

* Helix LED side-markers in Dark smoked. * Valenti Jewel LED tail lights also in Dark smoked. Also considering the TRD springs.

Bought a couple of extras for best fit and some color matching:
* 73 to 56.1 plastic hub rings * Mutaki "Chrome Yellow" lugs (almost perfect match for the yellow tinted headlights). Here's a front angle shot, unfortunately the flash diluted the yellow headlight tints so it's hard to see that the lugs and headlight tints match up very well. ![]() Some back angle shots: ![]() ![]() And finally, a gratuitous ass shot to show some of my car-tatts and the dark smoke Valentis. ![]()

Valentine1 Radar Detector ordered. Not sure why I didn't already have a Radar Detector in the list, this IS a sports car and I would like to continue getting the mods on it that I want (instead of paying out that money to fines).
