Default Smoke Reflector Mod

Got some smoke taillight film off flebay and used it on the orange front reflectors. So far, so good. They seem to stick really well, but only time will tell how durable it will be. I like how it looks, not such an obvious coverup, but a reasonably-believable custom-factory-type look. There's still a hint of orange coming through in strong light, but at night you can't see any orange. The pic was taken in full sun.

Default Yaaaa for $9.99 not much at risk here if it doesn't work out....

...until ***real*** aftermarket smoked reflectors are avail. for the B7RS4.

Besides, for $9.99 they give you enough smoke film for 50 reflectors so if they don't hold up who gives a rat's ****!

I used the stuff from XPEL, smoked, thicker, easy to apply and cut.

Default lamin-x makes good film too

i like what you did...

did something like that on my 350z...if your film is anything like mine it should last just fine...

lamin-x.com sells good films..buy a roll and cut it to cover any shape..stretches and adheres nicely and stands the test of time

Works good on the rear (red) reflectors, too.
