lamin-x precut film doesnt come with center tail light tint. HELP!

scmartin · 03-25-2011, 12:39 PM

OK, so i already ordered the lamin-x precut tailight film. AND i have now realized it does not come with the center tailight film. What should i do? I feel like tinting the two tailights without the center tail light will look weird and I would rather not buy a big sheet film from lamix just to do my center tail light because of the $$. Is that my only option? Help!!

I would check eBay or 3m for a cheap look-a-like to your other film tint if you dont want to spend the $$

are you talking about the 2 ft wide 1 inch tall red strip down the center above the emblem? If i recall, isn't that just a reflector and doesn't even light up? You could just cover it up with vinyl tape =)

It lights up! It's the third brake light.

not too hard to cover up though

its fine...
just buy some material off ebay. car shops can order just the material also...not a big deal. and a garage my brother in law ran, they had a 3 foot wide roll... So you would just need 3 inches or so off the end.. not a big deal at all.
post pictures when your done!
