I want to smoke my fog lights lens.

xquisit · 04-01-2015, 01:51 PM

I purchased a new M sport bumper, and I am really trying to achieve a classy, yet, sporty look in the front.

I originally wanted to delete my fog lights but there were no air duct kits that fit for my car (Except a super expensive one at $340 not including shipping or CA tax, like really? My car is N/A not even an N54; I really don't need the cooling).

I decided to buy a gloss black grille, and attempt to follow the black theme by blacking/smoking out my fog lights. I am not so ecstatic about using them for fog purposes, but more so interested in pleasing myself regarding the aesthetics of my bimmer.

TL;DR
Where do I go about this, should I just ask my body shop to spray over the lens?

Google Lamin-X. I think it would be best for you, and adds a nice element of protection- and it is removable, should you decide you don't like it.

For foglights, film is easiest. They're small enough and don't have a ton of contours that you can't get film to conform. You can get them sprayed, but it will cost a lot more and look pretty much the same.

+ Appreciate to both.

My body shop already approved of spraying my fog lights, but I am thankful to have the film alternate approved.

So these are interesting, but they are gunsmoke (medium). I wonder where I can get a more dark tint.
