Yeah yeah I'm sure this belongs some place else but I won't be a dick......



They aren't really painted more like tinted. Its more of a blue and yellow too. I figured it was close enough.

Then he won't learn and keep posting the same kind of topics here because he found his answer in this forum.

I think he learned his lesson though. Next time we'll rub his nose in his post, swat his *** with a newspaper and put him in his crate.

you'd have to be crazy to actually do this, but it looks pretty good sometimes.

the human eye is most sensitive to a yellow wavelength, which yields more definition on objects; least sensitive to blue, which is however, one of the brightest, sharpest lengths and frequency (therefore bounces easily too)
This is why school buses and new fire trucks are yellow and why red light doesnt effect eyes in dark environments.

The yellow film you see on many race car headlamps is a protective barrier against shattering in the event of debris being kicked up at your car. This film can be applied to street cars as well, and it will help visibility in certain climates and conditions, but you'll get hassled by the popo's a lot.

The spray on **** is just that: ****. Don't buy it. Do it right or do it twice.
