tried using it for the headlights instead of blacking out the housing. Looked like crap, so i just cut them and used em over my side markers instead.

is there a trick to getting it to lay consistently? i tried it on my last car, with soapy water, and a heat gun.. out of 4 lenses i did, 1 came out perfect, the others had major bubbles/wrinkles, and all i had to show for it was a bunch of heatgun burns trying to re-lay it all correctly....

I covered the headlights on my old A4 with Lamin-X. I had no issues and the film lasted very well for a couple of years before I sold it. I had my BRZ lights professionally done with 3M because I didn't feel comfortable working with such a complex shape. The design of the A4 lights is so much more basic.

every light up front is done. My car is the reason lamin-x has sales. My car was the test fit car. Headlights are tinted, sidemarkers are gunsmoke...DRL and fogs are clear. |
