Got my tints for the side reflectors from Lamin-X. Put em on in ten minutes. Here is a pic...

 

Very European !!


They do almost disappear...at least to the camera's lense.!!

COOL !!!!

Got the same ones for my EB/W MCS. They look great, dontcha think?

Nice shine on your ride!

 

Thanks man....Zaino.

 

Ahh they do look good. I oredered mine last monday and am anxiously looking for them. I also ordered the tinting for the rear lights. Should look good together.

 

I did mine a couple weeks ago....you really can't tell there were reflectors there at all unless you are right up on the car. And it was SUPAR easy. :smile:

 

I know everyone is tinting lights and reflectors for the "looks" but why do this and cut down on the safety of driving on the road with all the crazy people. I want everyone to see me when I'm stopping. The brighter the lights the better. I even hooked up by rear fog lights as brake lights.

 

The tinted taillights really don't cut down the amount of light by much. Just to be safe I did the fog light mod before I tinted mine, but the brake lights are still very visible.

 

here's my reflectors'
:smile:

peace,

Very nice. It definitely cleans the look. Worth the buy.

 

someone tell me how exactly to do this - im not a total idiot - but im wondering what to buy and where and what tools i will need

 

All of you in the states should stay original on this topic, is security and in all cases you should worried about 3 ton SUV crashing on your MINI on a corner, don´t do unsecure things, some other contries dont worried about this topics.

Here are some more tinted pics... all the tint is actually black paint thinned out and sprayed over the reflectors and the tails and 3rd brake light

 

sugar, your car is hot as always - folks, this thing is amazing in person!

 

i guess this thread occured during my vacation from MCO over the summer, as i have never seen them, but think they look great. i can't wait to cover up the rest of the orange on my car.

but lamin-x sells them for 19.99 each! and rspeed has them for for 25 for a set of 4! is lamin-x really selling them for that much more, or is by each, each set or something?

- wags

 

here i go bringin up another dead thread.. anyway, lamin-x is 20 for the set of 4, and they look great in the daylight and still function well at night..

here they are installed (well stuck on), and they virtually disappear:


and here they are with the flash on, showing that they still, in fact, reflect light:


- wags

 

so there just stickers?

why doesnt someone sell genuine smoked reflectors!

im afraid these stickers wont hold up well!

 

the lamin-x is just tint, like tint for your windows.

on my brg cooper (see above) a friend thinned some black paint, and then sprayed the reflectors. :smile:

 

Actually, our protective films aren't stickers per se. Yes, our films are adhesive backed and easy to apply. But the colored films are ~ 16.5 thick mils with hard outer layer - very stong ~ 3500 dpi. The smoked is designed to protect lenses and paint from damage, but also provide a tint function. A great feature is the reversability. Just peel them off later on when you'd like. But they don't come off unless you actually attempt to remove them. Hope this helps clear up any confusion. More information can be found through supporting vendor http://www.rspeed.net
