I'm thinking of adding a light tint to them so it will have a cleaner look.

Also -good call on sanding the plastic down. The primer will rally adhere to the plastic if you do that. I am thinking about repainting mine after I got knicked with a rock yesterday.
Really? They're not tinted lenses?! That's weird. From the image on Outmotoring they look pretty black all around.

Sounds like Murphy's Law got you with the rock chip.

Forgive my ignorance, but Lapis interior? I'm unfamiliar. I have the Anthracite interior with Anthracite Headliner. Black Leatherette interior.. it's on my 06'MCS.

I got really excited when I saw this. How did he get the "S" to light up? Very disappointed when I realized it was just from your flash.

But, hey, it does look very nice. I, too, have painted my calipers red. Do I also spy a red shock absorber? What is that, please? Stock, painted? Or aftermarket?

Looks great -
