I do like the "bare naked" look as well. I may go that route when and if I start really changing the cars' look. (different front clip, grille, spoiler, etc) You car looks really sweet....the look really sets it apart.

Well, it looks like I have 3 options:

I had thought about that spray on tint also. This would be by far the easiest solution, but I'd be worried about how it would hold up. I had a friend tint his tail lights with it, and before long it started flaking off. Might have been the application and prep (or lack therof) though

What i was referring to isn't spray on tint. My friend is a painter for the Ford dealership, he does tons fo custom work...What he does is adds small amounts of color to clear coat to "tint" things. So it won't flake off.

he is "tinting" all my stuff for free because he says when they paint cars they always have small amounts of clear coat left over and it doesn't get put back in the container (to avoid contamination issues,) and there isn't enough left to actually paint a body panel with, so he uses it for tinting out tail lights or other parts.
