Review on 🚗 Transform Your Vehicle's Look with VViViD Dark Black Headlight Taillight Tint Vinyl Wrap - 12"x24" 2-Roll Pack by Justin Garcia

I bought this after using VHT Niteshades and hated the look it gave me (don't blame VHT it just didn't work for my app) I picked it up from a youtube recommendation which I also did some research on how to install the product and it seemed pretty easy and it was. However, this film is better suited for less complex surfaces, closer to flat surfaces. Regarding my rear lights, which are completely rounded in places, this foiling was almost impossible without cutting out the relief or. I've tried everything, heating, another mop, stretching and even removing and trying again without success. The product started to peel off a bit in the corner where I carelessly cut a new strip of foil replacing the crumpled areas. I didn't like the VHT because the VHT didn't match the red taillight with the gray trim on my trunk. Not that I can beat the product on purpose, but the Vivid foil made the colors perfect. Whatever the color under the film, in daylight it is black with this film. The light transmission is amazing, I don't think this has affected performance, which can't be said for the VHT. However, I would like to clear up some misconceptions about this product and its limitations; 1. Don't use a heat gun, use a hair dryer, its heat is more than enough to apply the film. If you must use a heat gun keep it low, I used a hair dryer and managed to melt the film in a few places and I had to apply more, it doesn't require high heat to apply. 2. There is such a thing as too much heat and stretching. If you heat the film and stretch it too much, it will crack and wrinkle, or distort the transparency of the film. Which brings me to 3. "Blow out" is more of a gimmick than a reality. It works with large bubbles, but if you get a "finger" (a long, thin crease in the foil) DO NOT RELY ON THE AIR FREE, just remove it and reapply the paint. You will crumple the tint if you try to squeeze it out with your finger. and 4. This shade is not "self-healing". This term has been mentioned quite a bit on the Tube, but it isn't. Once bent no amount of heat can fix it, just throw it away or cut out the bad part and trim neatly for a new piece to fit in its place. I personally think RVinyl has more options with car specific relief cutouts, but that doesn't mean Vivid is a bad product. I totally disagree with the correct answer to the question: the quality is great, the film sticks to everything, it just takes warmth and patience, and it's a slightly cheaper alternative to buying tinted taillight housings. However, the app is so rigid that it's hard to get results you can be proud of. It looks great from a distance, but then you see where you cut the tape and used the marker to fill in the gap. If you have a simpler taillight, maybe not round, or maybe made a simple headlight, I would say go for it, even if the results may not be 100%, the price really can't be better. However, if you want quality results, check out your local paint shop. And for the price, VHT nitshades are worth trying too, but it all depends on the results you want.
