check out the shine on the one on the left, like a mirror! :iceslolan
anyways i put this up to my bros real CF hood and from a distance you could barely tell it was fake.

EDIT : the one in the center is WITHOUT smoke.

Sa-weet!

Indeed! And the silly FAQ said you can't use it for tinting.

Hey Pat, read the FAQ again and then tell us who the silly one is.
A window that ain't.

That looks great.
The problem with smoke is that it is very hard to get an even coat.

very hard. I used it for the tail light fixture on my RX7 though, and it came out beautiful, especially once I added the stop light red and turn signal amber (testors). Love how it looks. (body color is tamiya gloss black, I swear it's the stealth assassin RX7.)
