Where did you purchase it from? And where are you storing the meth on the car?

The front grills are factory, painted Pure....the red ducts in front run to the brakes, and are not foglamps, I plaed a small mesh in front to keep objects from getting through......the mesh was bought at home depot

After installing the laminex to your headlights, did it diminish the range of light you get at night.

Congrats on your car, it is awesome

To be honest I do not see any diffrence at night....when the headlights are on you hardly even see there is tint on. I am sure there must be some reduction because there is tint but I honestly do not notice any diffrence.

sorry for the bumping this old thread but i am wondering what % tint is on for the headlights and the taillights? and it seems to be more glossy compare to the tints i've seen in other cars, is that a special film or just the picture itself ?

edit
just saw your post saying its from lamin-x, what color is that, gunsmoke or tint?

thanks!
