Does anyone have this film on their mini?

I cant decide on A. the medium dark smoke, or B. the really dark charcoal?!?!?!?!

I have a DS/B, with tinted windows, blacked out mini symbols and i think itll look good with it.

i am not a absolute 0 chrome guy, i enjoy the chrome belt line and on the grill.


heres SMOKE


heres CHARCOAL



what do you think i should get.

there are pictures of my car on my cardomain link in my signature if you want to see what mini it would be going on.

thanks.

 

I like the smoke.

 

thank you!

so far

SMOKE 1
CHARCOAL 0

 

I'll second the vote for smoke!

 

i also think the smoke will look better

 

Smoke!

Do they have these in stock for the R56? I had emailed a few weeks back and they wern't ready yet.

 

Hello Guys.
I'm starting to carry all of the Lamin-x Films. I have Blue, Yellow, and the GunSmoke. I think the Gunsmoke is the most common color of the dark tinted films.

The gunsmoke has a more of a dark greyish tint to it where as the Smoke has a brown tint to it.
The gunsmoke looks great on black cars.

Let me know what color everyone would want and i'll work on some kind of a group buy.
Or is there someone else doing this? I don't want to step on any toes.

Thanks

I have had the Lamin-X yellow film on my rally lights for over 2 years now. Might even be 3 years. Very happy with it. I like the look of the charcoal, but you have to keep in mind the loss of light output with the tint.

 

HAve Lamin-X on the head lights, can reccomend their products interms of quailty

 

thanks, yea on the sight its says charcoal lose 30% of the light and smoke loses i think 18%...but it tells you.

yes they come precut for the r56 and they have them instock...the parking lights kit even comes with ones for the foglights.!

 

are we talking about film covers for just the TAILLIGHTS? I'd be interested in the gunsmoke on that, not sure i want to darken my headlights though. please advise, thanks APG.

I vote for charcoal for me, maybe you should do smoke so we wont be EXACTLY the same. haha. I figure I got the rear fogs to cover my legal requirements

 

I have lamin-x tails in gunsmoke, which is the lightest...and they look VERY dark..I'll post a pic later if you want..anything darker would be completely blacked out imo.

 

One more for Smoke

 

dustin dallas- pictures EXTREMELY WANTED!

yes I AM only talking about tail lights, I dont want to touch my headlights at all.

 

ok, this is what the gunsmoke (lightest one) looks like..and the stock look for comparison..(and yes, I know I need my windows tinted..that's coming in a couple weeks, haha)



I took the picture on a fairly sunny day, sometimes it looks a bit darker..sometimes it looks a bit lighter depending on the day. When the lights are on at night, they shine through really bright, so safety isn't a concern.

Also, when you first apply them, there will be some fogginess and small bubbles (I took that pic right after I put it on..so you can see a couple of the tiny bubbles)..after about a couple weeks, that all dissappears and they look perfect..so don't get frustrated with your initial results.

 

THANK YOU!!!!!! I am now inbetweek gunsmoke and smoke.....no more charcoal haha

btw-the bubbling and all, same thing with your windows when you get them done, my passenger side front window, almost had these waves to it, like ripples. No air bubble but a vissible ripple only from the inside though, i got a little scared, but they went away and now i think it looks amazing!

Thanks again for the picture!

 

IMO the smoke gives it "just enough"

 

Hello. Are most people like Gunsmoke or Smoke? I have gunsmoke film coming so if I need to order the other stuff let me know.

Here is a chart you can play with.

Thanks

so now you've seen my "gunsmoke"

this will give you an idea of what the "charcoal" looks like..pretty much completely blacked out..if you want that look, def go charcoal.



the "smoke" would be somewhere in between

 

no problem..and thanks for the heads up about the window tint..I didn't know that.

 

no problem! i think im going to go with smoke. i just cant decide where on my list of modds this goes. infront of springs or behind, infront of whalen or behind...haha arg.

 

Here are mine:









*My MINI (as it sits now) does not have the stickers nor the badges, and tinted reflection lights*
