The red lens tint will fade over time, once it gets light enough for you, clear coat it and then buff and polish it.

Yeah I was impatient and already did all that. But it's all good I like the way it looks

I guess now it's just kinda stand alone haha and it's darkness doesn't pop it out very much so it's all good

I've just recently heard of people using the stained glass spray, it seems to work well and obviously there are more color options. People tend to get it at craft stores like Michael's.

They improve brake feel. Rubber lines with expand when they get hot where steel lines won't.

They also make the brakes act faster and more consistently. I strongly suggest you read Stoptech's technical article on stainless steel braided lines (as well as their other stuff).
