thanks for the post warning.. now all we need is one talking about how the film doesnt really like hot *** weather..because mine is coming up in some spots. so.. i might have to take my film off and just hae them sprayed.

 

hmm..how long did you have it on for?

the film shouldn't be coming up unless there is still soap or air bubbles in it. if anything the heat helps the film. UV rays will cause wear, but that's what an application of wax over it is for. i had my previous fronts on for months with no issue (peeled it off cuz i didn't stretch it enough during install to cover entire area )

 

i had them on for a little under a month.. the one side i am mostly talking about is the right tail light.. where the key hole for the trunk is.. something happened and now its all scrunched up and looks really bad.. so i might have to take them off. something i dont wanna do.. but might have too.. (also sad face)

 

Has anyone bought from that website? They look pretty decent. I want to know how they come as.. And if it's worth it.

 

i just got my second set of tail light film from them. i had extra left over from old set so i did my sidemarker lights, and my third brake light. so it looks alot better now. but uh.. how do you mean "how they come as". but its worth it, makes the tail light look alot better.

 

I see you have a VR. Same as me. Can you post some pics of the tail lights bro? Just want to see how they came out.

 

couldnt get a pic with the third brake light done, sun was in the shot. but here the tail lights.. if the pic is fuzzy it was done with my celly..

 

nice... anyone have smoked tail lights on a bb rx8?

 

Looks pimp. Need to do this..

 

check the 1st page of this thread and there are pics of a BB with smoked tails

 

just checking but what did most people do when they had to deal with the keyhole in the rear? i didn't get a good look at danny's car at sevenstock so i just wanted to see what different people did

 

screw clear corners. i used smoke overlay on my corners and it came out VERY NICE. i have a tinted VR, and clearcorners would stand out since they would be the only white thing on the car. i tinted my headlights as well, its a good 10 footer. as in, from 10 feet, it looks good. i might redo it with my brothers help.

the whole, "many pairs of hands" suggestion should be taken.

but it looks very nice.



needs to get lowered and have the back lights done.

i just took these 2 pics (car needs a wash.) in the last pic you can see the little distortions in the overlay. 2 hands are not enough because you need 1 to hold the hair dryer and one to.. only one to apply it? yeah right. :P

 

Red and black looks good. But Black and WB will not. I thought real hard about doing this but after seeing someone on here with this on there WB I was like no way!

 

for the key hole i just kinda.. well lets just i now have only one key hole for the car, it makes it alot smoother looking. how hard was it to do the headlights, been thinking about getting those done. i mean cause i got my "clear corners" done, might as well finish off the look. haha, maybe i can get more fix it tickets. haha. i have a big stack of tickets.

 

headlights are easy.

 

alright cool, now i just have to scrounge up some money, buy me the head lights.. nd hope that i dont have to do it twice like my tail lights. haha. question is.. where am i goin to get the money..??? any suggestions. haha

 

i did my headlights twice... haha

it was only cuz i lined up the precut wrong though.

 

aww shitty.. haha. thats.. well i dont know what happened to my tail lights the first time. but im sure i did something wrong. oh well, least i know one of the guys that works at lamin-x enough to where if it messes up again, i can get a cheaper price on some new ones. haha.

 

haha, i wish i had that hook up.

 

well, it took a guy with some sympathy and time to hear my amazing story. haha. i got fired the day i got my tail light film, put em.. a few days later.. my tail lights started messin up. tried to fix them.. blah blah blah, sent him some pics. and well i got my second set for cheap.. so i think i need to buy me a shirt that says "got it for cheap".

 

You just need tints on your 8 and it'd look nice. I won't go with the blacked out corners but I'm headings towards a Red & Black combo.. As in the car..

wtf, I just noticed.. You have tints..

 

i take it the red and black is a common thing these days. haha.

 

I have them too guys .

Bat™

 

can i ask a dumb question, why arent there any aftermarket tail lights fo our cars...everyone in the world wants to switch to altezza style lights, im prob the only person who wants to switch out of them lol...i love the smoked tails but i just want to see something different.

 

there are aftermarket tails out there..in Japan. but the market doesn't provide for it in the US cuz very few, if any would get it...and it doesn't look that good anyways.
