Looks real good. I tried the paint but it really messed up the light, so i went with some custom Lamin-X film

Looks really sweet especially with everything else blacked out. Now all ya need to do is drop that front skid, get yourself some industrial flat black rustoleum and paint away. That would finish the front up really good. I did that to mine and it turned out really well. Just a thought

whats lamin-x?...right now i have these stickers on mine, it looks ****ty and i need to get rid of them...
Lamin-X is a thick protective film that comes in a bunch of different colors. I have the darker tint one on my lights, light tint on the for light things, and blue tint on the driving lights. There is a website or the stuff.

And the place that i got it done is on Dixie Hwy right off of Spanish River. The place is called Superior Tint and Jason the guy who works there is a real cool guy. I would recommend them to anyone

By the way the stickers look pretty good from a distance

im not sure if i wanna go that dark, no offense, although i do like it...i like my shade right now...but by using the VHT night shades ill be able to get the perfect shade....i already bought it, i just need to buy the clear coat, i think it would be the best bet for me...i agree, the stickers look good from a distance but up close it looks extremely tacky, i might even take them off right now lol...its like embarrassing lol

Yea....mine is pretty dark but that is sort of what i was wanting, Lamin-X makes a lighter tint that i had on my BMW it also looks real sick.

As far as the spray stuff goes i have had real good results and horrible ones. My major suggestion is either to find a garage that the FJ can fit in or take the lights totally off the car before spraying them. And make sure that you are really good with spray paint before attempting it.

i was told u can remove the spray with nail polish remover or something like that so if it does come out bad i can always do that...i do plan on taking off the lights before doing it...and i think ill be fine with the spray paint considering that i already painted most of my car myself
