Default Looking for someone in the bay area to tint my fog yellow!

Long story short I failed so hard at it today. Looking for someone with experience to make it look flush. I have some film left over. I'll buy you a beer :O



So for right now it's gonna sit like this till I get it on

The best thing to do is buy yellow glass capsules.. That go over your foglights.. No to film or yellow foglights they look like crap and cant duplicate the oem jdm light.. I got pair of oem yellow glass fog light capsules that i might sell..

Lol - did you try using a blow dryer? I used a tint for my inners on my gs and for the most part, the middle is okay, but I have just a few lines like yours. I was told by someone else that it might be because the film's not as flexible, but i dunno for sure.

anyway, if u want some company to figure it out together, i'm free sunday

I have 3000k hid bulbs in them, so yellow capsules won't work. I think only the H3 bulb has the hid capsules only?

I did use a blow dryer and that made it worse...fml

You guys can come over if it's perfect ._.

u cant "stretch" tint. its plastic not vinyl. u'd have to find a material that is not tint but tinted clear bra or transparent vinyl. hard to find. waht adl16v said would be a good one if the paint is spray on.
