Default Headlight eyebrow tint

Just had my headlights done the brow and the sides are 5% and the rest is clear to protect the headlight.

Yeah I'm back and forth on the flames but had some pretty bad rock damage on the hood and just over the wheel on the driver side so the flames cover that for now. I can't afford to paint it just yet so I'll have to deal with it. Most everyone say they like the flames but I'm not sure I do. This is a little better pic with flames.

Tint goes on outside. The guy that did it has a tint shop (Sun Shades) and is an 2nd gen xB owner. He used his to make a template. As far as the flames go I designed them and had a vinyl place cut them out, I figured they would help to protect it from further damage till I can paint and put a clear bra on it.. I'm still back and forth on whether I really like them or not but it was way cheaper then paint for now. Thanks for the comments I really do need the encouragement to leave them on and not spend money I don't have for paint. I'm just way to **** about how my car looks.

My car was used some guy had it for three months and a few thousand miles on it. I guess with as much gravel as they put on the roads here he didn't have enough sense to keep distance between him and the car (trucks) ahead of him. I made the mistake of buying it when it was dark and not seeing the damage.

Thanks for the ego boost. :D
I will be going by his shop Tue and I'll ask him and get a price for you. Just keep in mind that this film is very thick not a thin film like window tint it's a 3m product like a clear bra fim so it will hold up to weather. So it may be difficult to apply unless you know what your doing. This guy is a 3M cert. installer so I had him do for me. I'll PM you with info Tue evening.

Ok here's the scoop. All hand cut custom 3M headlight kit would be $60.00 plus whatever shipping cost (USPS or whatever you want). If you are interested PM me. We can arrange payment and shipping I do have a pay pal account.
