Optic Blue Headlights

mPlasticDesign · 07-17-2008, 03:04 PM

So I thought I would try the Optic Blue headlight protective film. I really don't like yellow headlights or smoked anything(headlight/tailights). However, I think the blue on the AuGry looks pretty good. I guess if I get tired of it, it's easily removed. What do you guys think?

Looks good to me but I don't know how it will perform

Perform? It is 17mils thick, so it will protect the lenses quite well. The blue tint is essentially cosmetic though.

I had Yellow on my M3(AW) for a while. Kinda a euro look, supposed to reduce glare in heavy fog areas like here in N.Cal.

Sorry about the crummy pic quality(cell phone) and the filthy car(trying to get that gunmetal finish on the wheels using my brake dust, lol)

LTO · 07-17-2008, 06:28 PM

yeah i think it looks good.

vAnt826 · 07-17-2008, 08:53 PM

Reduces more light output if you have color.

MontegoblueE92 · 07-17-2008, 10:45 PM

I actually think the blue looks really good on the gray.

montreal red · 07-17-2008, 11:36 PM

ALPINE6SPD · 07-18-2008, 02:34 PM

not bad but not my taste

KonigsTiger · 07-18-2008, 03:18 PM

Looks good to me!

mPlasticDesign · 07-18-2008, 03:32 PM

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I got a couple PM's asking where I got the film, so for those that don't already know of Lamin-X:

I like this, How hard/easy is this to install........ did you do this yourself??

thanks

mPlasticDesign · 04-25-2009, 07:55 PM

Rather than start a whole new thread I thought I would bump this thread for those maybe interested in the blue headlight protection for their M3's. I got so many compliments with my Mcoupe, I thought it might look goo on my sedan....I think it looks pretty good!

Yeah, did it myself. It is easy to install. You have to take your time, follow the install instruction and most important, have both your hands and headlight surface very clean. I have notice that it helps if your hands are wet too.

218dhb · 04-26-2009, 08:10 AM

i think i like it, maybe a future mod for mine..i have light gray color also..

how does it look with the halos on? or the headlights on?

can u see blue?

mPlasticDesign · 08-08-2009, 01:02 AM

It's funny, the blue headlights always create interest at gas stations. People come and ask me about them all the time, I'm almost ready to peel them off though...
