Blacked out side markers, mirrors and tails

I recently had my side markers, mirrors,fogs and tails blacked out with lamin-x.

I hated the orange on the bumper and white on the mirrors and wanted something to prtect the fogs..the guy ran out of yellow so i deicded to go smoke. The reason for covering the tails was I had a small crack on the white part of the tail and wanted to cover it up, now you cant see it.

I also covered the chrome peice on the trunk with Vinyl.

I had the fogs, mirrors, corners and tails done by a guy here in Toronto for $70.00..I dont even think I could have bought all that for 70.00 from Lamin X

I paid 5.00 for a small sheet of flat Vinyl and did the Chrome peice myself.

I did it to cover a small crack on the white part..If I did not have a crack in the tail I would have just left them.

The smoke lamin X covered the crack and now you cant see it.

lamin-x fog lights

i have an 08 c350 sport just put a new x-pipe on it( very impressed)

I have 2 cans of night shade, was wondering if i could tint my fogs that way instead of lamin-x or would it create to much heat? any help would be great, i would prefer to not buy lamin-x if i have this already, but if its not good for my car..

I used Night Shades to do my corners. Turned out great. I don't know about the fogs and rears though. A little too permanent.

the nice thing about sheet material is u can remove it. If u use night shades its alot of work to reverse it.

lamin-x will not only tint but protect the lens. The C300 fogs are prone to cracking from road debris.
