hi Lexusnutt,
All lights tinted using film from Vivvid vinyl.
One head light does have a small area lifting due to my poor installation.
Also have a few small nicks from road debris.
obviously tint isn't going to be a permenant solution. I've had it on since July. So far imo it has held up well.
Last week I was at the track and the high speed didn't cause any peeling.
I even had temporary track tape installed over the tint film and it was fine when I removed the track tape.
Good luck.

Thought I'd share a few pics from Roebling raceway few weekends ago.

Had Xpel ultimate put on the full hood, bumper, headlights, fenders, front lip, mirrors, rockers & side skirts.
Wanted to do the whole car but that price was just ridiculous! Hope this ppf stuff is worth it and save my paint at the track. Was a bit costly...
Also had the guy put ceramic coating (Restore FX) on the entire car afterwards, including wheel face & barrels. Will see if that is worth it too...

I had my car wrapped in self healing PPF and have had many track days, I can see some permanent dents in the film if I look closely. If you're going to track, make sure you don't tail anybody unless you're ready to pass or else your car will get sprayed with the rocks from the pavement.

I also have clearplex on the front windshield. I highly suggest this especially if you track your car. Saves the windshield over the long run and no visual issues/impairments from it.

I did about 4/5-5/6th of the car in PPF...should have just did the whole car. Kicking myself now. I love the PPF protection and ease of keeping clean.

if you don't mind sharing, how much was the clear plex? Pm me if you feel that's better.
I asked my xpel guy and he was not that experienced with it. I could tell he was hesitant so I didn't press it.

Well, finally got the goods from GT haus. Took 4 months!
Got the stainless x pipe and titanium cat back.
I did that to save some money but now wishing I had just got everything Ti. Oh well.
The build quality is superb and fitment was spot on.
The system is very loud though, like many have stated before, even in the closed mode imo.
I'm sure I will love it on the track but on local streets, it is a bit obnoxious.
Plus phone calls over blue tooth in the car now not so great for the peeps on other end...
The installer tucked the receiver for the valves on top of the sub amplifier in the trunk. Pulled the power feed from it as well. Figured this way if anything went wrong like a blown fuse, I would only be without music. Let's hope that's a correct assumption.
Some pics for yalls enjoyment. ( anyone know why when I upload sometimes the pics end up sideways?? So annoying. Then if you view them, it looks all stretched. What the?)
Merry Christmas everyone!
