Has the guy ever coated calipers before?

The high beams are not tinted - the tint does not cover the actual headlight oval area.
It does cover the fog lights - but makes little or no difference to their output.

Electrics only needed on 99 or earlier if you want to upgrade electric transmission parts and relay.

That sounds good - almost like a Lambo.
