I'd say to get that look you need to buy a cheap piece of land,stick a tin shed in it and sell overpriced cars!
Just think of a good name for it tho 'cheshtie performance' has been taken btw

That definitely isn't FlyEye as had that on the front of my last car. Definitely looks like a spray on tint as it's still gloss. So easy to use and very cheap stuff. I tried with normal tinting film and it's a nightmare for curves, spray is just easy. I'll be doing this to my blob v soon.

I'd say thats the most of it, however the chrome ares still seem to have a tint to them.. so there must be someting on the lense..

If you want your lights to work properly just paint the surround black.
Tinting any other part, with flyeye or any other type of tint will reduce the light output.

Not close enough a photo to confirm but it looks like a thin spray from inside, very risky to get an even finish whereby light won't look milky

flyeyekit is very cheap and worth a play with as it's easily removable.
