Kyle be carefull using the VHT on the headlights, if i was u i would rather get the rock blocker or which ever one is from subaru. the spray could end up running and making a mess,and or u might have to put a few coats to make it look even and it might be a bit too dark for the headlights. is no problem w the tails. and ull be spending some good amount if u mess ur headlights up, i just spent $750 on a brand new stock set for my car.

i might try just using 20% tint i saw people doing it online they use a heat gun and it stretches and molds the tint to fit the angles

to an extent, yes...I'd just do the usual lens removal and black out the buckets surrounding the lens bucket...

looks somewhat "murdered" out and you only see the chrome bucket that reflects the driving light.

you should be able to do the altezza tails just like headlights.

as for painting just the chrome of the subie badge...paint pen is probably going to be easiest...I still like the paint matched lettering on the trunk.

already painted the inside of my headlights when i first got the car

so you think the paint pen will actually stay on there? and not just come off

I'd get a 3m fiberglass "sandpaper" pen to prep the surface...I know there are primer paint pens too...
I was saying to do the headlight mod to the altezza taillights and just use colored bulbs for brake/turn signals...
