Yeah I'm very happy ! They look great and I don't have trouble with the cops. When I did the fogs for the first time, I didn't have a lot of lighting so I had difficulties to follow the edge of the light when I cutted the film. Now they are perfect !

thanks so much for your reply!

i thought the film were precut and all you need to do is peel it off and stick it on your lights?

No problem my friend ! And you can buy the precut one on Lamix-X website, but I prefered to cut them myself due to the special curves of the ISF lights. I was scared that the precut sheets will not fit perfectly

It's not so hard to put the film on the headlights and fog lights. They don't have special shape like the taillights. Your kit will come with a squeege, a knife and a spray bottle. You don't need more tools. Glove may be a good idea, I didn't used them and I played a lot with my film without no fingerprints visible. Don't forget to post pictures of the result !

When you did the drop spring Install did you use the front and rear set or just the front to level the car? Also is there a reason you use the H-techs not the S-techs?

Every Lamin-X film have a tools set in it ( I received 2 kit). The spray bottle is to apply water on the light before putting the film. After that, you apply more water on the face of the film and you start to remove the air bubbles with the squeege. And then cut the extra film with the knife.

It sure that the car doesn't ride like if it had a good set of coilovers, but for the price, I think that the Tein did a decent job. I will replace them soon with BC coilovers.
Tein said that the car is dropped 1" front and 0.6" rear, but I think that the drop is a little more than this.

oh no i'm really bad at that, tried doing that with my phone, didnt have success

so just need to make sure the headlights are wet, apply the film and move it around to the right place, then apply water over film and then squeeze out the bubbles underneath?

does the water have to be soap water or just water is fine?

Right ! But you don't have to apply a lot of water before putting the film, juste a little bit. And only water is OK, the film is auto-adhesive
