I'm scheduled to have mine tinted this week for $400, but with how particular I am, I'm having second thoughts.
What is the specific process like? I suppose a tinted clear coat is used to paint the lamps, as any other [plastic] body part would be painted. Any special instructions I should give my body shop? Anyone attempt to match the facelifted 2013 lamps? If so, how much tint did the trick? I do not want to overshoot it.
Will the finish scratch like that of a regular painted panel (will lattice swirl marks begin to show)? How about cracking, etc.? I'm concerned for longevity.
Last, anyone purchase the facelifted lamps for their pre-facelift car? How much did the parts cost? Is there any way to source the parts on the cheap? Can we do a "group buy"? Not sure how that would work / be coordinated, but I'd be down...
Thanks!
