I think that would look great on your X! Some Smoked or Charcoal Lamin-X (I have sheets available HERE) would give the lamps a great look against the rest of the black on the SAV.

Does the percentage in the description the same as regular tint? As in the lower the percentage the darker it is

Lamin-X is backwards. The 30% is darker than the 6%.

I did the lamin-x on the taillights and think it looks great - I really wish I'd left the reverse light un-tinted though - which is what you were talking about. Go for it! I used the gunsmoke because I didn't want too dark either.

I think that gun smoke is probably the way to go for me

I think this is K.I.T.T.'s offspring.

Lamin-X on the headlight and tailights would complete the job.

Thanks.

Tinting the headlights would just reduce their effectiveness so I'm not gonna play around with that lol it would look sick though

BTW - Don't do ceramic coating on the exhaust. It peels. And don't have Elite do it, because they have screwed up way too many customers exhausts doing ceramic coating on the tips. Just have them PC it, like I did on my M5. Or, have Matt at Perfect Ten do the exhaust in a gloss black, like he did on my X. Ask Neil -- he knows all about my stable of cars.
