It's a Platinum PLUS tint (metallic looking) and another layer of 35% reg smoke tint, which helped to take out little bit of that mirror glare out and made it look like a real Platinum. Damn, Im tired of explainin people about it...

It is the kind of adhesive that you apply to both surfaces, allow to get tacky, then press together. The glue Greg sent with mine was not in the sealed packaging with the eyelids, it was separate and bouncing around in the box.

well first off, one didnt fit all the way around the lense And the other didnt fit flush. they both didnt even shape the same like as if they were both made from a different design. One was shorter than the other by an inch in length, both had many thin spots and uneven surfaces. They look like the kind of stuff that you would say
"they look good from far away".. but once you look close.........

However..I might consider purchasing another pair because I shure hope that the pair I ordered(now returned) was a mess-up and hoping that the next pair will be a good set.

good luck with yours, what you should do as soon as you get them is to go out and test fit them on your lenses before you get them painted. I knew right away that mine were messed up as soon as I opened the package.
