Default vht nightshades on diffusers?

Wondering if anyone has tried tinting the ap1 headlight diffusers. I was thinking about giving it a go with vht nightshades but would like to get some advice b4 I do lol. I also thought about doing mulders head light mod and just tinting the amber strip.

So advice, thoughts, suggestions- I'll take em all

I don't know if tinting that diffuser would be street legal... Regardless, VHT makes great quality product. You just need to make sure you don't spray on too much as it'll start dripping (like any other paint).

If you can't find some locally, try here.

I suggest clear coating them too, after you nightshade them. For a lil more of a shiny look + UV protection.

With a Berlina S2000, I vote for you to Mulderize them.

You ever wear black pants with a black jacket...and then realize that your pants are really no longer black, they've faded to a blue-ish, grey-ish black....you just never noticed because you hadn't worn your black jacket in a while?

That the risk you may run into after 'blacking-out' your diffusers on a Berlina. The housing themselves will look more grey, the black diffusers will be shiny shadow black, and the paint will be black...and if your tires aren't shined, they'll be a reddish black from dry tire look. You'll have 4 different tones of blackness on the car, and the whole think will not 'match'.
