Look what I did!!!

Im sure some of you want like it, but it turned out the way I wanted. Not to dark, but just right!

I got all the windows at 25%.

I tinted the head lights and tail lights with niteshade. I also painted the fog light ports.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I used the niteshade spray on my taillights, in under a year the stuff faded down to look like crap. I had just sourced another set of tail lights to have done with real automotive paint like I did with my headlights, but lost my X5 recently before I could get it done...

Oddly enough the niteshade spray held up pretty good on the 3rd brake light but faded right off of the taillights. Doesn't hold up too well with sunlight I guess. I'm not critisizing in any way, just giving a heads up from personal experience.

I personally think headlight covers / tinted are so 90's (I imagine a mustang or camaro with headlight covers). Like it was said above however, it's your ride so enjoy it man. I did a similar thing with my 1997 Ford Ranger I bought brand new in 1997. I did color matched RED covers and it pissed off all kinds of people

The more people that hated it, the more I liked it. I still own this truck and it hasn't changed in 14 years. It was my first new purchase so it's kinda one of those things where it's gonna die with me.
