Hi all,
I am taking my evo to the track for the first time. What type of tape should I use to cover the head lamp? Would normal duck tape do?

Thanks for advices.

Jim

 

duct tape will work... but it may leave some residue left on the light... i normally use masking tape... it's easy to take off at the end of the day

 

Don't use duct tape. Their nasty to clean after you rip 'em out.

Use electrical tape ( Black )

 

better yet... dont use any tape at all!

=)

 

I would recommed that blue masking tape used for painting. Leaves almost no residue

 

I second painters masking tape ...

 

newbie question...but why do people do this?

 

to assure that if your headllights ever shatter due to a rock being flinged at it... it'll crack... but the tape will somewhat hold it together so it won't go all over the track and damage/injure someone or something else... also it looks really cool...

our headlights are made of high ABS plastic though... so it'll take some effort to really bust them

 

use vinyl =x

 

It also helps protect them from scratches. A lot of fine grit gets thrown in the air and at 100+mph it's pretty abrasive to plastic.

I kinda dig the look

 

200mph tape..... duh!......

 

get clear shields for the lights, can't even tell it's there and it' durable. will last for years.

 

But you look so much cooler when you drive in to town for gas with taped lights!
