Playing with headlight tint on Stingrays....
I have the twilight blue package on my 2016 convertible. Don't care so much for all the chrome, and the blackout on the white car i think would be too much. Wanted to see what your thoughts were. Still needs some work to get it good enought for closer inspection, but good test.

No a fan....you can either spray black that is removable when desired ...or if possible just remove the badge completely if there is no hole behind it. I prefer cars with less badging myself but search the forum before attempting to remove,
Blue tint is not my personal choice. Even stock is better than blue tint.

I am lost. What are you trying to say here?
Edit - I get it now.. You are tinting the chrome emblem blue. Not my cup of tea. I would just remove them. Always thought the fish were kind of cheesy.

Why did you call this post playing with "headlight" tint, and then show a pic of the fugly fish? By all means dispose of the fish....if you are doing anything to the headlights, don't! They are a work of art and to cover them with any kind of tint would be a bad move imo....

I think he's using headlight tint to color the fish. I don't really care for it, it doesn't go with anything else on the car.

Also did the emblem on the waterfall, only single layer so not so blue.
It will probably need a second layer, make it match the stingray emblem.

There is no hole behind it. My first 'mod' was removing those guitar badges as well as the lettering on the back of the car. Much cleaner look.
Next up is to cover up the chrome retainer in the grill with something either black or with the c/f look.

Why not simply purchase the OE Carbon Flash painted ones ? And since you asked, that looks riced out with the tint film.
