good reviews, lots of subscribers on the youtube. they do tons of stuff lol!

they are not translucent and you can get them cut in almost any color. the ones on the website are black or gray. I'm sure if you call they can custom you any color you like. Video of conception below.


While I was at it I signed up to there email newsletter and got a 15% off code. also got all the vinyl tint for the reflectors. Prices are very resonable. The quality is pretty good.

The window decals are very delicate. Your gonna need some hand skills, some sort of spray to keep the window wet, and a felt squee-gee. it took me a little while to get them on right. The 2nd one went on a lot easier!


hope this helps!

that's about as far as i wanted to go with that. Just black out the clear part. I like a little red it matches the calipers these are not the overlays they sell. these are the abs plastic ones I got from west coast corvettes.

I'm at work now but I'll post a picture in the sunlight of finished car when I get my lunch break.

Its a little more gray in the sun then I like, but when I get the windows tinted next week I think it will compliment better. The satin black ones would be even more suttle. I have a set of them too just incase I didn't like these but it's cool. I'll keep an for a while the black one on the very bottom of the rear window will be coming off. I just didn't have the time last night. I wanted to leave it in the sun so they can adhere to the glass and dry out.

just incase anyone is wondering the black out tint (transparent) on the reflectors fit pretty much spot on as well.

I agree...IMO the satin black would look much better...

I've seen these on some rides here already. I really like it but tend to use those side windows at times to see if any cars are coming when pulling out on a road. That's the only reason why I havent got them yet.

Default Tip;

if anybody is interested in doing this. they make it look pretty easy in the video. my suggestion... since its so Hot outside put the decal in the fridge for about 20 min. I literally picked mine up off the porch (95* day) and went right to it. I actually ended up having a little bit of a hard time when I was peeling the backing off. I ended up damaging one of the stars. the other side I did put in the fridge and it was a lot easier to peel away and manipulate without causing too much stress.

this is the vinyl it's printed on, considering the price it's not bad at all honestly.

here's my mistake...


just be careful.

Very nice, have not seen this before. Looks like you did a nice job on the install, especially correcting that little oops.

nah not even like that little window at least for me is useless because the passenger seat blocks most of the window like 80% of it. my woman is pretty tall so she enjoys keeping that seat far back. The stripes are the only thing covering the visible part of the window. I'm too big to turn and see the window behind me.

I know what your talking about though the front of the car is long, and if there is a car parked on the street (3 o'clock) like its almost impossible to see without pulling out into oncoming (9 o'clock ) traffic. window or now. i never use that window frankly. I just do a bunch of awkward leaning while trying not to catch the front end on the pavement while pulling out of driveways. it's an art I tell ya!

and btw no affiliation to said company. It actually came up on my youtube suggestions. ( because i also have a few ricer cars if you will) if you look at their stuff it's mostly like 90% geared towards imports. but I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them. the black out tint on the reflectors was top notch too. great price!

the best part is that it's not permanent and it can be easily taken off with a simple razor blade with no damage
