headlight/tail overlays

i saw some on a site a while back for the 08+ impreza, but i can't seem to remember where it was that sold them. they had smoke and red for the tails, and clear, smoke, yellow for the head & fogs. can anyone point me in the right direction?

They aren't that hard to install yourself. Just take your time and they'll come out fine. I removed the tail lights from the car just so it was easier to apply the overlay.

oh sweet, lamin-x was the one i saw before but totally forgot. thanks!

perky808, super easy to do yourself. i did the fogs on my bugeye a few years back and it was like taking candy from a baby. just remember to spritz the tails/headlights with water before you apply the overlay, then another spritz on top of that. use the squeegee that's included to press out the air bubbles and let it sit out in the sun for a few hours. being hawaii, shouldn't take very long to dry up nice.

on the outer tail lights, i'd recommend a real heat gun. my wife's hair dryer didn't get the results i wanted.

clear lamin-x okay on headlights, paint the tails with stained glass spray paint, preferably red...smoked if you 'have to'.
