LXwhip · 02-06-2010, 04:19 PM

is it possible to do it with window tinting film? cuz i dont wanna spray it and make it permanent.. not even that actually, i just have tinting film and dont wanna buy the spray lol
if it is possible, can someone give me quick instructions how to do it so the film doesnt fall off?

both head and taillight tints are thicker than window tint. I have had good results from:
headlightarmour.com
laminx.com

hard to apply:
rvinyl.com

Headlight/taillight tint is actually vinyl.

Real tint (ployester) won't conform and won't last. The scratch resistant coating will flake off in a month or so.

Im assuming from the pic you are only doing the reverse lights, if not be very careful with how you do it. I jacked up my baddd and had to take them off. It was almost like the overlays were not the right shape.
