protection film on rear sides
had to replace that film on one side of my car
but, while on the point of fitting the new one I thought at a possible mod: why not making it "tinted" !
this would also solve the usual problem of it getting yellowish in short time ..
like this
made a quick search but could not find anything in a tinted fashion
so decided to make my own.
first doubt: full black would be great but .. maybe too much sporty. LOL
so, let's go for a vanishing black tint.
gave the ori part to a printing shop and asked to make a few version with different percentage of vanishing.
I made 20, 40, 70, and 100 % tinted.
here they are
now I'm unsure about which one to install,
so for now I fitted the 40% version on the left side and the 70% on the right
ended all this job late, so pics unfortunately are poor
70%
40%
.. indeed the effect changes depending on the light. in the night it seems darker .
