I put flex agent in the paint when I did them...they do flex, already had to remove on and no problems.

Thanks guys.....I really enjoy doing the write ups. I know when I am looking to do something I like to see pictures on how its done. I appreciate everyones nice comments...I usually do my cars over a longer period of time but with my schedule I decided to try and get the major work do as fast as I could. We are going to take some motion shots today and I will post them here

I have to tell you the Lamin-x is unreal. It is very think and I thought it was going to be a lost cause to get the curves of the lenses right. I have played with tint and it is always a disaster. This stuff is really easy....use a blow dryer and the material shrinks really well. We finished the rear & side lights and we had no issues. Well worth the $90.

Is it hard to take the lights apart? e.g, How long would it take to darken the front and rear lights?

By the way....the car: AMAZING

You don't have to take the lights apart....it goes over the surface. With a little time and patience you can get it done. Use a blow dryer to shrink the corners...really works well.

I like it...works good, nice setup...The only thing is that I haven't gotten a map retuned for running that, should be this week, so it's only added a little power right now, but will obviously add quite a bit after gettin tuned.
