Go get some cheap Honda Civic or something lights from the wreckers to practice on, it's one of those things you're surprised about how easy it was and wonder why you didn't do it sooner

Having said that, I bought a second pair of headlights before I was game to try it

SP-20-DB · 04-07-2011, 10:23 PM

The tint does block a bit of light, but its still pretty bright and I dont get flashed no more, so thats a plus

I believe Matt/RED3VIL used a cheap ebay tint, tint that doesnt go well with high temp

whereas I went with Lamin-X I have used before on the fogs, they have lasted 18mths now and are still going strong

smurfy · 04-07-2011, 10:34 PM

how much were they ?

marcs_sp20 · 04-07-2011, 10:36 PM

$45 landed. If I bought again, I would get the light tint though

smurfy · 04-07-2011, 10:39 PM

mann youve got me thinking ahah

SP-20-DB · 04-07-2011, 10:44 PM

what type did u go marc? smoked?

mynameisdaniel · 04-07-2011, 10:46 PM

Try the look with cheap eBay vinyl

I've got it on my fogs 'to see what it looks like' and it's been there for at least 6 months without a problem now

But it's no where near as nice as the lamin-x I've got on the tails, but tyre shine keeps it shiny.

SP-20-DB · 04-07-2011, 10:59 PM

got any pics of the tinted rears?

mynameisdaniel · 04-07-2011, 11:11 PM

I can't even remember what shade I went with though... It doesn't block too much light, I even made it through defect stations at schoolies with it on somehow, maybe because it wasn't a commodore

SP-20-DB · 05-07-2011, 10:26 AM

looks sick =] gunna try this stuff next time for sure. and its good not having a commonwhore less attention. (i would know all my mate have commodores and when we cruise they get pulled over
