   look at my DP they are as legal as you can go all round in black.
   
   my mate had the silver 1s which look sh1t, if your going to do it get it done properly, dont just go halfords and get the film to cover them!

   Light smoke or nothing, everything else looks tacky tbh and depending on how strict the cops are in your area possibly illegal.

    technically yes as it makes your car more of a target for thieves

    Thats becuase manufactures normally tint the glass to the legal limit when its fitted, therefore anymore further tinting would render them illegal.
