Default Dark headlight film too tacky looking ?
I have 996 GT3 RSR lexan headight covers.
Which means there is a screw hole drilled out for quick changes in the pits.
However on a street car it means water intrusion into the headlight.
So i ordered Laminex 6 mil thick film to cover the lens & drilled out hole.

However Laminex sent a black out tint film vs. light tint (which i ordered).
They r sending correct film tint as a replacement free of charge.
So i decided just to install the dark tint for fun.

What r ur thoughts?

Should it stay or go?

It looks like someone gave a 16 year old a 911 for his first car. Stick with the clear film.

Might be best to drop this whole thing. We have received complaints.
