Lamin-x tails

BMdblU · 05-19-2008, 01:46 PM

So I'm considering the lamin-x film for the tinted tails from **********s , but there are two options, smoked and gun smoked. They only have a pic of the smoked, which looks ok, but I would like to see the gun smoked as well. Any opinions or pics are appreciated, TIA

I'm still on the fence.. I figure If I don't like it I can just remove it...

I was thinking about this also. But not really that dark of a tint. Anybody know how the gun smoke tint looks like? From the site, the Smoke seem to dark for my taste.

Anyone done the lamin-x tints?

This should help...I had the lamin-x on the taillights but I ended up spraying my tails instead. Here's a link to the DIY I wrote: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155393

vht niteshades ftw! haha
i prefer ebay vinyls since they're mad cheap and you can never go wrong with them. they give you alotta vinyl to practice and work with instead of just precut ones that you can mess up during install.

i prefer lamin-x since its the best quality film out there that u wont be able to mess it up and the better the film the easier the installation
