UPDATED 7/29: Who wants clear/colored lighting protection? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

smoger · 05-23-2005, 04:25 PM

**UPDATE: DEAD as of 8/5. Not enough interest. Sorry to the few who wanted this

**UPDATE: I believe there is now interest with 3 or 4 people and this is frankly not enough for me to go and buy this stuff in bulk. I give this 1 more week and then the idea goes out the window.

**UPDATE: I am now gathering measurements from different types of cars in order to figure out pricing, etc, please post up your cars head/tail/foglight measurements, even if you are not interested the info would be useful! thanks! **

The colored film is yellow, blue, or smoke.

All offer protection from rocks and other debris and of course the colored version can be used to add some style.

Measurements Recieved:

02-03 WRX
---------------
Headlights:
Taillights:
Foglights: 6.75" diameter

LSHatch · 05-23-2005, 05:53 PM

I'm in. Headlights and tails.

the mike · 05-23-2005, 06:12 PM

I would be interested in yellow headlight film.
Also a satin clear finish for the tails would be cool. There was a G35 coupe with satin finish tails at SEMA, soooo hot.

smoger · 05-27-2005, 08:51 AM

UPDATE: I am trying to get some price figures for this stuff.. will update again later tonight and probably do a group buy.

MuddyREX · 06-22-2005, 09:27 AM

Any info on this stuff? I'd like to buy a 15x15inch sheet of smoke that I can cut to fit a few things.

smoger · 06-22-2005, 10:59 AM

sorry i was looking around for the best pricing and eventually got sidetracked.. ill get back on it and update as soon as possible

TehWagon · 06-22-2005, 11:21 AM

i might be interested in fog light film too, depending on the price...
group buy anyone?

99ElectronBlueCivicSi · 06-22-2005, 08:02 PM

im in for some blue or smoke for the headlights and maybe tails

180sxDrifter · 06-22-2005, 09:07 PM

might be interested in yellow headlight film if price is right

the mike · 06-22-2005, 09:32 PM

I was looking to do yellow foglight covers from Laminex. Do you have anything like that?

DoubleOughtCel · 06-23-2005, 12:47 AM

I'm in for smoke on the heads and tails.

smoger · 06-23-2005, 08:37 AM

As soon as I find the right prices there will be a group buy set up. Havent thought of the logistics of it yet but I should be able to get clear,smoke,yellow, and blue

TehWagon · 06-23-2005, 08:39 AM

hmmmm... blue... for the fogs... thoughts?

smoger · 06-23-2005, 08:57 AM

Can you guys do me a favor and throw up measurements for headlights, taillights, and fog lights for different cars?

YEAR - CAR

Headlight - Max. Length x Max. Width(or diameter if round)

Foglight - Max. Length x Max. Width (or diameter if round)

Taillight - Max. Length x Max. Width(or diameter if round)

This will help me guage what I need to get and how much price difference among different models of cars..

I have found the right price. Now I just need to determine sizes and what not, put together a group buy and then we're good to go. If I make it to Absolute tonight I will have a tape measure with me to take measurements of headlights/taillights/foglights for those who are interested as well as answering any questions

smoger · 06-24-2005, 10:12 AM

bump everyone lose interest so quickly?

TehWagon · 06-24-2005, 10:13 AM

no everyones just too lazy to go out and measure! i'm workin on it...

**TROLL** · 06-24-2005, 10:23 AM

i'd like to tint my sidemarkers... a 6" x 6" square should be more than enough for both... how dark is this 'smoke'?
