Vinyl overlay amber or not?

c_jeong89 · 11-07-2009, 04:02 PM

Trying to decide if I want to cover up the amber part of the headlight with an overlay. I'm not sure if it will look better or not, too lazy to take a pic of my car but its a tiag e90, shadowline trim, black grills, full mtech, blacklines, 35% tint. What do you guys think?

If you dont mind spending a few hours working, you can order two 8 x 16 sheets of charcoal film from lamin-x.com and cut the film to black out the amber. That is what I did and I am happy with it. I didnt want to spend $65 plus shipping from **********s for their gunmetal ones, so I just di it myself. Save about $30 doing it this way.

Longtran sells them for 15-20 bucks shipped which IMO is decent.
