Custom Tinting

I am not sure if there is a place that does COMPLETE custom tinting. I bought the evo-r sleek headlight kit with completely clear lenses hoping I would be able to put a complete custom tint on the inside. See the only thing I didn't like about the evo-r headlight kit was the fact that the painted headlight covers looked gawd aweful to me, but when it was shiny and on the evo-r car, it looked like the darkness blended in and there for looked good. I would like to fully tint (but make it lighter where the lights come out) the headlights.


Any suggestions will help,
Shawn

Have you talked to any of your local window tinting shops?

Also, you could buy some tinting paint; tint the inside of the cover. You can spray more layers where you want it darker and less where you want it lighter.

Now, the area I live in isn't that big, and since there isn't much in car performance around here, I just doubted there would be any good place to take the lenses. I was thinking maybe a city atmosphere would have more sophisticated equipment to custome make the tint I want, in the pattern that I want. Or should any plain jane tinting shop be able to do that?
