It funny you mention that because I am pretty much in the same boat. I tried to put on a headlight tint film and although I got it on it didnt look 100 percent and it bothered me. So I ended up taking the film off and painting my housing instead. But anyway it just really had trouble with the vinyl/film whatever it it. So I would hate to run into the same problem where there are air bubbles or it just really doesnt look that good. I think you have persuaded me for now

A lot of the euro kids have been doing this for a few months now. The material isn't a vinyl it's actually a fabric. Stretches very easily & is 100% easier to install in comparison to vinyl adhesive backed material.

This material requires spraying a few coats of 3m adhesive or an equivalent but it's much easier to bend around corners & stretch.

I'm probably going to pick up a few yards and do the backing of my Bride seats that are a bit worn and scratched up in a few weeks.

Got mine today. It still looks fake CF but best one so far.
Its not FABRIC! its really thin vinyl stick to fabric.
I bet they make tons of money selling this. Really dont think its worth $35 per yard.
