Default Lamin-X: Poor Fitment

Just got my order for some yellow fog light film covers. Has anyone else had this problem? It doesn't cover all of the fog light...

Yeah I read a lot of ppl had that problem. I bought the film but decided to bake my fogs and black out the housing instead.

I got mine from Rvinyl. They looked just like that. I had to rotate it and switch sides a few times but they did cover "most" of the fogs. Fitment wasn't 100%. Try switching it upside down, changing sides etc.

I got mine from aerotect and the fitment is like 99%. A little tiny bit of the upper part of the foglight isnt covered, which you cant see unless your looking for it

Thanks for all the responses peeps. I would try to stretch it but because of the amount that is showing and the curvature of the film, it'd be absolutely impossible to get it to fit.

I've also tried changing sides/angles fitting it different ways but that's really the only way it'll go.

I'm disappointed that Lamin-X can sell a product like this knowing that it has such a terrible fit. And for them to also remove my comment from Facebook without a reply to my complaint? Don't do business with these guys... I've tried calling and no one picks up (and voicemail not even activated)

Thanks for posting what aerotect looks like. Would you be able to post a pic of the gap that isn't covered? Thanks in advance!
