Why do you want them?

They look fucking awful and give the police a good reason to pull you and take some money from you.

Don't see the point personally!

As above its hardly worth the hassle, unless is just for shows or whatever. I heard you can use window tinting film don't know how true that is though.

window tinting film over them, job jobbed

i had a couple of sets made in the past, i say a couple as the 1st set bubbled up and fell apart whilst stored in a cupboard for a few months, so had a new set made as replacements and they have gone the same way, utter shite! dunno why the quality is so bad but it just is.

the window tinting film method at least lasts the test of time

Looks like i'll just tint a standard one then, I got various shades of film at work. Just thought maybe it was the actual acrylic that was tinted not just a film over the top.

Cheers for your help guys

Yeh i dont like them on white plates. Only reason i want one is after sitting behind yours the other day. yours is only mildly smoked which i liked and it wouldnt get you pulled over
