Default tinting export lights

I just got a set of mint export lights. I just got them because I got a steal of a deal ($50) and mostly as a novelty. No one without a trained eye would even notice but I have a question. Would they look good tinting the amber part red? I still think they flow better than ours but the amber part is the part in question. Maybe someone could photoshop these red...

Ive seen a few guys here have tinted them. They look good (like 93-96's) but defeat the uniqueness of them being exports. Thats why I never tinted my exports.

I understand that. They'd still be exports and still wouldn't look like any other lights available for the camaro. Im more or less just curious to see what it would look like. As I said only a trained eye would be able to spot them.

I bought them from a member on the v6 site. He had pics of his car up ( he's in the uk) and I jokingly had offered him money and he said I could just have them cuz he bought euro lights. I just paid shipping haha

I keepbrunning into good deals. Right place right time. Very recently picked up a brand new in box and wrapper fast 92 intake for 200 bucks here on the military post. Some guy I ran into with a similar car had offered it to me... I said yes and took his phone number... THEN LOST THE NUMBER. As fate would have it I ran into him again and made sure I had his number down. Bought it the next day.

Id personally stay away from eibach but that's me. I have Strano. I got a good deal on my headers and id encourage you to see if they're still available. Edelbrock victor series drag race longtubes. They're stepped to 1 7/8 with 3 1/2 inch collector. They detail for a thousand bucks I got them for 230 bucks shipped from edelbrock since they're phasing out their exhaust dept. Pewter mafia baby.

That red Camaro has some damn beefy tires on it. As far as Eibach, I agree, stay away. I know how bad they suck.
