I think a light tint in the center cutout section would look good. Not as dark as the IAG car.


Nice pic Euclid.

This is what I want. I also have SWP.

Euclid, did you order the full film and just cut out the reverse lights? Or did you order that way? If so, from where?

I have a friend that works at a tint shop and they had a whole roll of the red film and he installed it. You have to install it first then cut out the inserts since install requires a good bit of stretching which would mess up the lines if it were pre-cutout.

Lots of people use the bluebatmobile overlays, which use the same material I used.
