Default Headlight Film - Optic Blue

Would the Optic Blue headlight film (as in the pic below) looks good on a dark blue GS300?

On a blue car it may be less noticeable but to me its too blue, kinda looks ricey. If it was only a very slight blue then maybe it would look nice. I like the GT yellow colour better but that looks better only on sports cars...

If your GS is a darker blue then the 'blue film' then it would match.

i have seen light blue. it's close to a turquoise blue.

i had the regular blue on my previous IS250. brand new, it's on the dark shade of blue. it looked nicer after about a year of fading.

Rvinyl carries the turquoise blue. it think stickercity has the regular blue. aerotect has the regular blue.

looks fine. if you like it, that's cool with me.

but if you wanna clean up yours, use some 2000 grit wet sand paper then follow that with some 3000 grit wet sand paper, and then some clear lens applicator, like Meguiars or Blue Magic and it looks just like brand new. Good Luck.

personally, i'm not really into it. you may get pulled over for the blue tint since the po-po's are the only ones supposed to have blue lighting.

The blue shouldn't look bad on a blue car. I would clean up your headlights before installing the vinyl with some Meguiars Scratch X to clear them up.
