2009 infiniti FX Smoked Taillight film overlay kit

You might find it less expensive if you have them done by a local tint shop or have them painted professionally. Hollywood007 had tinted tails (film overlays) You can try StickerCity.com or BlueBatMobile.net. Both companies are California based.
 
How long do you think the film would last on the tail lights? And would you know the deferens between painted and film I mean would you see bobbles in the film?
 
I actually got this overlay kit for the 03-08 FX and I gotta tell you, it is TOUGH to install and I consider myself pretty handy with tools. I ended up failing and having to throw away everything I bought. The FX headlight contours make it hard and you have to use a hair dryer to make the overlays flexible enough to hug the shape. I was able to cover about half of each light and even then the light output was restricted quite noticeably. These stayed on for about two days and I took them off.

IMO, you should have them tinted professionally.

I'm not even sure how they can get a film kit for the headlights. With that big "hump" I don't think the film will stretch to cover. I saw one of the headlight kits and it had a cutout to cover this hump. But it would leave a huge portion of the headlight uncovered.

The same holds true for the taillights on the '03-08; the taillight isn't as flat as many other cars so I don't see how the film would stretch to cover. On the '09, the taillight is more round, so it should work. Having said that, I would have it professionally sprayed. You can always tell the difference between film and spray. The film always looks a bit duller and I have yet to see someone install it perfectly. Usually, you see a little bit of the edge and so on.

I had film on my IS350, it looked decent. Then I decided to have my body shop guy spray the lights for me, and it looked 100x better. There wasn't any comparison. So when I got the FX, I just got lights that had been professionally sprayed, I didn't even consider the film.
 
It was completed.
It is a film.

wow, that's pretty dark, but looks good. I'm glad you like it and that's a good point, now that you know you like the look you can eventually get them painted.

I keep debating on this mod, my wishful thinking is that clear tails will be released at some point, but this gives me another visual, thanks. Looking sharp!
 
Looks good, how much did that run you?... I'm thinking of doing the same, about 50% tint, but not sure how that would look with the red underneath...
 
I had my tinted originally as well, they weren't overlays though.. It's looks like those sit a lot cleaner then my tint did..

I ended up in the long run going with getting them painted.. For me, it looks a lot cleaner then when I had them tinted...
