Oh cool. So I'll take it they didn't have another clear one there? And I want to do this eventually too

They only had the tinted, I figure I rather have everything matching. I really like the turnout. It only took 10-15 minutes to do. You just have to buy a certain screwdriver head and I could only find it in a set of them. That one head I needed cost me 20 bucks cause I had to buy the whole damn thing.

I'm guessing it's a torx security bit?

It's just a square, smaller than 1/4 inch ratchet square.

It's amazing the difference tint makes, looks much better. That bit is a robertson, Canadian invention.
