Granted, I have a biased opinion, but that is a sexy beast. Good taste
Oh and I just ordered the headlight vinyls. As soon as they're on I'll post pics.

Just ordered my tail light covers. Can't wait to get my damn car and install these bitches. I will post pics once I get my car and after I install these. I am going to be racking up parts since I won't be getting my car until the end of July.

Yea I know, but I figured that I will be getting an awesome car and I got it MSRP, so I didn't want to push my luck. I was just happy to order the thing. Now I get to stock up on parts for it and it will be like Christmas in July when I get it. It just sucks cause I am going on a cruise at the end of June with my family and I just want that to be over so I get my car sooner. This is how it was when we went to Maui and I knew that I would be picking up my rex when we got back.

yeah at night, the lights are pretty dim with the smoked headlight covers, but you can still see, HID's would be sick with them.

I've got the Lamin-X taillight vinyls on my car. I had the headlight ones as well, but I had to remove them. It was too difficult to see at night, they're Illegal in PA at night, all that kind of crap.

The taillight vinyls were pretty easy. If you take your time they'll look great. The headlights were a bit of a pain but they looked good while they were on. As far as removal goes, they're pretty much held on with a tape like adhesive. When I took of the vinyls in the front, i just ran over the lights with Hi-Solv adhesive remover and prep. No glue residue.


Sorry, I don't have any good pictures of the headlights with the film.

I was wondering about LaminX plus HIDs... but I think they might melt.

there is a better way of doing it in a certain way....you can go to a painter or a tinter and have them refer you to a person who paints them black or yellow or whatever. it looks clean b/c there is no lines from the film.

I did mine yellow friday and messed it up a little, looks good from 3+ feet and I plan on having it redone by a pro. As far as police go I have gotten compliments from the 2 police officers I have seen since I did it and they want to know where they can get them for their squad cars And the yellow makes your headlight beams look amazing IMHO.

According to Missouri Statutes, headlights must be substantially white, fog or auxilliary lights can be yellow or white. But that is Missouri!

Had the yellow film on my fogs, and the fog lights burned the laminx after only a month.

I think I read some where that says don't leave your fog on with laminX when you are in heavy traffic or stopped. Only turn it on while driving on highway with enough speed to get it air cooled. imo it's too much work to keep in mind when to turn it on so it's not burned. I'd rather have my fogs on with my headlights all the time and don't have to worry about this problem.

If you really like the yellow fogs, just get those fog kit that comes as yellow. Problem solved.
