thinking of even doing the blue cover for the headlights. ..although that mite not look any good at all with my red lib.. ?? :- http://www.lamin-x.com/category-s/1214.htm :::check it out.
..perhaps the darker 'gunsmoke'. anyone know if that would be ok with ADRs?? ( https://www.lamin-x.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1156 )
if not either of those, the tint one..


If you're talking about the head lights, then anything but going clear is possibly going to attract the wrong attention... The way these films are marketed is to give protection... Here in Aus, I wouldn't do anything but clear on the front, & the gun smoke (Lightest tint) on the rear if you want to avoid attention from those boys in blue.

yeah thats probably the safe thing to do in regards to front.
but so my options for rear tail lights: Gunsmoke protective film; 1 coat of VHTnightshades; or import monster JDM B4 rear garnish + lights, for around $200 all up.
...ill decide wen im back from camping :)

just thought id pop back in here and post..

most likely just gonna go for the VHT, lightly -ish. and change to LED lights that are a bit brighter than the normal globes so no sueing due to dim brake lights. hopefully.

-eh, prepared to take the risk.
