Don Nguyen | Clear headlight film protection - Prevent rock chips/cracks

I know there are some of you out there who have no interest in the black vinyl roof wraps that I do or the way carbon fiber vinyl looks. However, you have to at least like protecting your car's headlights from rock chips and cracks.

The material that I use is not precut, so each and every installation is custom fitted to your car's specific application. This means no gaps or seam lines, in order to provide an invisible as possible installation result.

If there is enough interest, I may even be willing to do a group buy to start things out. Also, if your headlights are already faded and you wanted to restore it, I have a guy who can do that before the protective film is applied.

It was actually pretty hard figuring out a good way to show just how the clear film looks like on the headlights. However, hopefully this shows you just how clear and invisible the film is once applied to your headlights. I tried to make it as visible/noticeable as I could in this picture so you guys could actually see/notice the material.



thanks.

-Don

Don, I just made a thread about this for protecting the inside of the outer door handle to protect my white c250 from developing fingernail scratches. Could this be cut to fit my door handle scoops for this purpose?

Wusup Don, for some reason I am never able to see your pictures.... Would you happen to have smoked and could it be pre-cut? If so how much would one be looking at?
Thanks

I'm interested in protecting that area from scratches also, would you sell the material pre-cut or in just a sheet? Thanks.

It is only a sheet, and you cut it to fit.

You know I have yellow tint/transparent film as well that you can use, so you don't have to double up essentially.

It's fairly easy to install, especially on a small piece like the fog lights.
