Vinyl Shops in the Dee-Eff-Dub

So I want to try smoking my corners. I think the amber looks bad and while I like the clears I figured I'd give the vinyl smoke deals a shot.

Does anyone know of a vinyl shop in DFW that does this kinda stuff? Or could sell me a square of smoke (transparent I think they call it) vinyl that I could cut and apply myself?

I thought I was the only one who spelled it "Dee-Eff-Dub"

Well, I always thought it was just regular window tinting film people used to smoke the corner lens. I bet a tinting place could do it real cheap.

Well, if you hate it and are going to clear corners... why do you need to peel it off? Might as well toss it out then with the OEM corners.

What color is your 8?

Tint will be easier to remove than vinyl, just soak the lens in some warm water for a little while and it will release.
The adhesive on the vinyl is much stronger.
Plus since you apply the tint with soapy water you can position it more easily, the vinyl is going to be very sticky and you will have one shot to place it.

You can use soapy water with vinyl as well, you should try the tint on your oem ones first if you don't like get the clears
