Tinted Side Markers and Foglights

I had posted other pics of the headlight film but hadn't completed the fogs and side markers. Finally done. I love the way it looks (especially at night).
What do you think?

I had the yellow film on my old car, and want to do it again to my C, I put yellow light bulbs in and it looks great. I can't wait to get the film.

Your car is beautiful. Have you thought about painting the grill ? It is such a DRAMATIC difference and I think it would look great with your car. just my .02.

I saw another post on how to remove the chrome and what type of paint to use. I'm really considering buying another grill just to play around with it. You really think it will look good?

You can do it with no problem. The hardest part is getting the chrome trim off the grill, it is just a PIA. Prime (wait an hour or so) then paint (I gave it two coats) let the paint cure over nigiht then reinstall. Slice of pie I was tempted to leave it just primed as it looked real mean but I went with the gloss black instead.

BTW I used Duplicolor auto touch up paint in their catalog they have MB 040 black as a universal gloss black. It is close enough when on a seperate piece I wouldn't want to try touching up and prepainted bodywork. I also didn't put a clear coat on as some have don't know if I will regret that decision or not.

Whole cost of painting around 20.00 USD and it makes a big difference on the black car, the star really stands out.

Forgot to ask where did you get the tint and is the fogs available seperate as I don't wan to do the headlights.

I got a set of blue laminx for the fogs...still debating if I want to put them on. I already have film on them, but mixed feelings now about adding some color or keep them clear since I already went to all the effort of stealthing out the turn signal bulbs to keep the front clear. The yellow looks good, but not sure how they'd look on white.
