Personally I'd go with a tint film just to keep the gloss look. But that's me, and it might happen after school, I've always wanted a murdered truck and I have a black one right now... 2+2=4

I prefer the look of tinting with film to make it glossy as opposed to spray on tint. I like the trucks that have it tinted to match the black paint of the truck.

I added black basecoat to martin senour clearcoat. Then just kept putting coats on till I was happy with how dark they were.

You should colourmatch your lights... I've seen a white truck with white tint on his lights

... actually it looked pretty stooopid

I just went with some aftermarket smoked ones, they give a nice effect when they're on.
