Well Im not trying to flame a company but I do want to talk about a couple things. I installed the headlight armor to exact specs and followed all instructions. After 4 days its completely dry and it looks really bad. lots of bubbles and waviness. Im debating tearing it off. Ive contacted the headlight armor customer service and pm'd them on this board and all the response I get is " will dissipate over time" I would think they would stand by there product and refund my money or at least send me a new set. How much can some sticky plastic cost? Not worth the nearly 40 bucks I paid for it.....Let me know if anyone else has had these issues.

No issues with mine, did the HID fronts and light tints on rear and sides, after 28 months still looks great. I'd give it a couple of more days.

Mine look fine as well.

I love Headlight Armor, the material they use is pretty thick and doesn't hinder/block light [noticeably anyway]. By bubbles do you mean air bubbles or just trapped liquid? That might be installer error...

Now Ghost Armor...their stuff is crap. Sounds cool and all but they should stick to cellphones.

zero issues with mine on the headlights and DRLs.

I haven't tried the film for the lights. I've only used their carbon fiber vinyl for my bowties.

Great stuff, even better if they gave Camaro5 a discount!

I got the blackout kit from them almost 3 years ago. I have taken off my tail light vinyl 2 times now (too pass state safety) even though it is legal here the shops still give me hard time. But after each time the vinyl goes right back on.
So do I like their product? YES, and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Might have to check their site and see if they make the side gill inserts.
