36hrs after installation of Lamin-X protective film onto my headlights.
from front/side/far the Clear Lamin-X protective film look almost invisible. i feel it added more gloss shine to the headlight lenses. +1
however inspecting it from certain other angles you're see some blurring/uneven as the film are tick. almost as thick of those plastic ruler. i think was 0.4mm~0.5mm.
viewing it from top
from the side, you can see it as clear as nothing was paste or stick.
from center towards the side, you can see the curvy side profile of the headlights lenses that wavy of the Lamin-X film silicon. that shows the thickness of the film. +1
here is side by side comparison of the film from the front without/with lights turn on during the day. i think its a good investment to protective the headlights considering the cost of the hardware.
hope this helpful.

you're feedback its worrying.me. i understand clear plastic or silicon degrade overtime, but 8mths is a short. did you apply any vinyl conditioner or any synthetic carnauba based wax in between as suggested by Lamin-X tender loving care recommendation? i'll be applying FMJ over it this weekend and observe over the month. will post more feedback when time comes.hetraa;481602 said:

nope, i left it alone..but still better with the film on it...rather the film gets blurred than the headlight glass gets blurred.= irreversible
mine's the genconcepts clear film..maybe yours better..

got the 40D to start but between work and all. din quite managed to hook up any mates to play with the thing. a little cumbersome to have in the bag for business travels. so got rid of it recently. thinking of a powershot G10. will consider the next 60D if it comes with video function.

I started DIY with the top piece of the grill as its easy to wrap in case I don't like the results, I can re-wrap back to matt black. :thinking:
You need almost the same tools I posted back then in this post when DIY the matt black sticker
Then test fit it back on the car to examine the results. :thinking: I think I like because that CF texture shine from certain angle therefore some color contrast that I want originally. matt black don't give such contrast as it's not shiny from any angle.
