Dark Tint Film for Amber Reflectors
Just sharing. I realize I can get paint matched replacements from IND for $140, but I thought I'd take a shot at these dark tint films off eBay since I have dark car and just looking to take the edge off. Not much to lose for $11 bucks. The amber really doesn't show through as much as in the close up shot I took. We will see, need to walk up a few times in different lighting, but definitely better than the in your face amber. Just noticed that top left corner when posting this. That is going to bug me all day, hopefully just the picture, but may need to throw some heat on that corner.

EDIT - I would not exactly call this film I bought vinyl wrap either. But it is a flat area unlike bumper and fender trim, so sure, Vinyl would be fine too.

Joe, go on Amazon and try Vvivid Smoke headlight tint. Its super easy to work with, you don't need to wet anything, and you can pull off and reapply.
Pop the reflectors out of the bumper (they are attached with 3m tape), cover with the tint, put new 3m tape down and pop them back in. You won't be disappointed. |
