Default Side Marker Blackouts

I recently traded from a 2015 Stingray to a 2017 Z06. I purchased some overlays for the Stingray for the sIde markers. They were a much better quality than the typical film overlays. They were much thicker and higher quality but cannot remember where I got them from. Anyone had experience with the higher quality, thicker version? NOT ACRYLIC OR PLASTIC.

Ive searched and cannot find it....

I don't have a source for overlays other than lamin-x and a few other google result set hits. An alternative you might consider is getting yours tinted. There would be no film sticking our / not being flush. Plus, no worries about water getting underneath.

The acrylic ones are thicker, most people don't like them because they stick out. I haven't seen anything besides vinyl tint, acrylic or the replacement markers like gscreations or oracle sells.
