By tinting, it keeps the heat from the headlight from escaping and can slowly cause "spider cracks" to form

Really? I wouldn't think you'd get any more of a greenhouse effect than before, perhaps less since you're blocking light on the way in as well.

car looks sick bro.

Yea I don't recommend tinting headlights. The heat from the sun and from the HIDs can eventually cake the tint onto the headlight and it will start to crack. I painted my headlights black and they look great. Its just more of a pain in the a** to have it done, but it looks better and holds up much better over time.

Car looks great so far though. I like what you did with the roof. Unique and cleaver!

hmm your point makes sense man but it would be prone to happen over a really long run besides I don't do driving at night that much for the spider cracks issue to speed up

You learn something new on this great forum every day man.

Are wheels in your future or are you sticking with the classy OEMs?

I was actually going to get the wheels powder coated gun metal last week but held off last minute, still very much in love with the chrome finish of the rims at this point.

You ever considered painting the wheels black? I think it compliments with the black very well.

Thanks 370zlove3, pretty glad at how things are turning out. I would probably get the wheels powder coated rather than painted once I am over the chrome finish or unless I get my hands on 98intrigue's rims
