I have a light smoked tint on mine, and it’s holding up well (1 year). Blends nicely with my Sapphire Black metallic paint but isn’t too dark. Smoked is always the way to go.

I second 9krpm....that chameleon shit looks awful

You’d be surprised how well the light smoke tint looks. It doesn’t affect the brightness of my lights at all. Very clean look.

Xpel is great for that, that is what I used it for.
