[joey banana s14]

i used that tint spray for lights in my boy racer days works well and gets darker the more coats but obviously not the same as proper smoked jobbies

if your going red dont use the spray tint, it fades out in the sun badly, instead use a red type film (same kinda stuff used to tint windows)

[batman026]

tom sheehan on here did his IS200 rear lights and they are mint, send him a pm

Just gonna say again, this is better than any shitty tint spray and can be pealed off if you dont like it.

I got it in 18'' x 4'' to suit a 32 headlamp, worked out about 30quid delivered i think

[Kruizer]

Think it cost about 100notes to cover all the lights in the tezza, they are an odd ass shape...

[mattybyrne2008]

back lights on this mates old car done by himself turned out pretty class the inner ones were leds and outer were just normal tinted broke up the back of the car nicely

Is it easy to put the film on?

[decobyrne106]

can the tint for windows be used? and wonder would it be easier to use a heat gun around it or will it discolour?

after talking to dave (hilly) on thursday, i believe window tint film is a bitch to use as it wont fold as easily as the lamin-x stuff.

[Kruizer]

The hint is in the name, WINDOW tint... Tint spray is crap once you turn on the lights, the Laminex film is dear and cost me over 100notes to tint all the lights due to the awkward size of the lights... Here is a before and after :

wow that tint really makes the arches look much wider :p

[Kruizer]

Shup you ass LoL

[keith-n]

Looks really good. Fair play.

[greenmachine]

Was this laminx stuff hard to apply on the rears? I had kinda smoked ones on my old altezza (standard smoked i think) but my new one there the chromified look, don't like em at all.. I don't want to go to dark though....

pic is my old altezza with the darker lights.. something similar is what i want or a slightly darker shade..
