Help me decide!

Okay guys so Im having trouble deciding what I want. First, I'm getting my headlights done and painting projector shroud grey and the side strip grey to match my car. I was thinking to tint my headlights but not sure after the tint you cant even see my projector. Should i tint it because i like the aggressive look or no? Second on my 08 S (grey) should i get v3's(matted blk) or v086(matted blk w/ chrome lip)? Decisions Decisions

Rather than get it tinted I suggest just painting the housing black.

As far as the wheels it's all preference, but I haven't seen anyone go wrong with CV3's!

+1 on painting healights against tinting them. If you were to add dark film to your headlights, you will effectively reduce your light output. Also, that film will wear out rather quickly as it's going to be exposed to the elements and all kinds of road debris. Painting them is more costly, but it's a far better solution than tinting them.

I've read and seem the nightmares some people have gone through when the time comes to remove the old dull tint in order to replace it, they find out their headlights all ruined.

If you have the funds to get the headlights done and buy wheels the more power to you, but as an alternative you can always do the headlights yourself, and use those savings toward your nice new wheels. Just an idea you probably already had.

+1 against tinting your headlight. Like Jon23 said it'll ruin your headlights, that happened to my friend with his car and had to buy new headlights. He ended up painting the housing and it looks so much cleaner.
