Thanks Cee Jay. Been thinking about a light headlight tint but, have been told the local PD has a REAL issue with it.

Tell ya the truth here, a whole slew of newer cars have tinted headlight lenses. Jeeps, AwDeez, MBs and Bimmers. Then there's Aston Martin who's been doing it for a decade. Of course I don't know your local municipalities and their rules and such, but maybe safer is better.
I sure am happy with my tint. A person can't tell really, without knowing what they look like NON-tinted.

Mine? Nevis. They are the OEM for 2010 XKR with some sort of package with 20 inch wheels. Big Brake Package??? I'm not sure. The brakes are normal XKR so I've no clue.

LOL! I'm not sure I'd say "nicer" but they are different. If I would have had ANY of the stock 20"s I don't think I would have changes the wheels. Just didn't like the stockers on mne.

Freshly polished and ceramic coated as of today. My detailer took the indoor pics, they really show how the green pops under the light. He did a great job cleaning up the paint before coating.

Looking black under most circumstances but a most classy green when the light hits right...this is botanical green I guess?
My fave colour for the XK...suits it so well!

I can definitely understand...amazing color!

My dream for my next ride would be to find a 4.2L XKR in botanical green, with full caramel interior, walnut burl trim, Alpine or B&W stereo, 10-way adjustable seats and heated steering wheel...and possibly windshield as well.
But I agree that makes a lot of criteria to fulfill...
