Not really a fan of covers, so tinted. Easily removable with some lacquer.

Depends on the year/model whether I'd darken them at all...personally the 05 looks great to me just as is...



Enjoy your Toy

Covers, because tinting is illegal in my area.

Tint, its easier to take off and it has a glossy surface (unless your going for the matte look).

Technically both is illegal in WI but covers are way more frowned upon than tint. I have come across some really crabby police officers who will grab the cover off the tail/headlamp and literally trash it in front of you. Tinting, if done right, can look factory.
