I have the recon smoked just like in the picture. The only thing you have to do is put a little bit of 100% silicone down with the gaskets they send and you won't have a problem with leaking. I also have a sunroof and they never leak, but others have had problems with them leaking but once they put a bead of silicone down the problem stopped. I got mine for $60 off e-bay i think.

i used model car window tint, you can control how dark they get, and then clearcoat overtop of it all and you should be good to go and in all youll be into it for about 15 bucks
