I had the static cling ones from the camaro decal store on my car..they came off wile i was driving

so now I'm looking for a better solution for tinting sidemarker, does anybody have the ABS plastic sidemarker blackouts from RPIdesigns? Considering getting them but i want some feedback before I buy

So I ended up going to advanced auto parts and buying tint there and putting over the side markers and it actually came out really nice, and I still have left over just in case

We use Lamin-X material for our sidemarker tint. We offer the material in 5 different shades of tint (7% to 32%). The material is 17 mil thick, most tint or transparent vinyl is 3 mil thick. It can also be stretched or made smaller by heating it to get a better fit. The openings vary from car to car thanks to manufacturing tolerances.

Got them in the mail today put them on and I am very pleased on how these look. Very easy to install and they fit perfectly. Also the light output is still very good. Didn't have time to take a picture ill get one up tommorow.

You are not the first. We picked up some years ago to see how they work and they blew off the first time we got on the highway. More of a put them on for a show and take them off and drive home item from our experience.
