Lamin X Tailight tint installed

I picked up some precut tailight tint from this company ..

http://www.lamin-x.com/

It was cut precisely, easy to install and has a 5-year gaurantee. Best of all, it is not permanent and doesn't require light removal to apply.

Also, installed precut front turn signals and used a bulk piece to do the
rear side marker lights (they don't have those precut).

If you are looking to do this mod I highly recommend this stuff !!

i did my front turn signals, fogs, and headlights with that stuff. turned out great. great product. i ended up taking off the headlight tint because it was too dark. it came off cleanly. i also ended up changing out my entire grille because i wanted a different look.

the only tint i still have on my car is the front pre-cut turn signals. that one was not a perfect fit. it was too small, but you can't really tell unless you get up close to it. overall, i would recommend this company if anyone is looking to tint their lights.

I have their blue foglight tint and love it.

I'll have to look into getting these.
I've been wanting to slightly tint my tails so they match the 3rd brake light, which is darker, and imo, looks out of place.
These should fix that.


*edit* Mine are ordered.

Okay, pick on me. I could have sworn I read someone said they also put it on their windows as well.

Time to send my Coke can to the lab to be analyzed!

I'm going back to lurking.

Do they offer a static-cling version for the fog lights? I also noted that you blacked out the lower portion of your front fascia to look like the GT/CS...how did you black it out? (i.e. paint, decal, black tape, etc.)

Mark, as far as I know they do not offer Static cling for any lights. The adhesive is actually much stronger than I thought it would be.

The lower bumper has a black decal that I purchased off ebay

I also used one in the small recess at the bottom of the rear bumper as well. I got it from the same merchant. They fit perfect and were very inexpensive. Just be sure to ask for color Matte Black -- the first one they sent was very glossy and did not look right.
