i thought about using vinyl at one point cause i did on my tails....silver did you use a hairdryer or a heat gun ...and squeegee it real good? those go down too far near the grill for me....are those pre-cut or did he just send out a chunk of vinyl and say here try this?

no i just put them on and used a squeegee thing to try to smooth it out. and they will be precut. like i said these were the first ones and we are working on the next ones to be way easier to install

Those go down too far on the light. The color looks like an excellent match.

I think silver has a good idea of it. The vinyl has more of an arc and doesn't get in the way of the headlight so you can still see just fine.

correct since they are arched it doesnt block any light

Wait so are you sticking with that same design? All you gotta do is throw a bunch of niteshade under that pattern.
