I plan on putting vinyl on my headlights and taillights. I'm curious what other people use and where to get it. I also want a good tint shop in the sherwood/jacksonville/nlr area. Thanks

I had mine done in Conway highly recommended. I don't know of anyone around the Jvile/sherwood area myself.

I used a stick on tint for my fogs, they turned out great IMO. I ordered from www.lamin-x.com (http://www.lamin-x.com). I have fogs off a GMC Envoy, and I needed the tint for them. I ordered from them because they were recommended by some guys on Stangnet. I was ticked when I got them in because they were probably 1/4 inch too small for the lens (that's 1/4 inch all around). I e-mailed them, got a nearly instant response. I measured the lens, sent them measurements and pics, they reworked the molds and had me a new set within a week. The new ones fit great and hold up well. I'm pretty sure they make the for your car. On my tinted windows, I had mine redone by a shop here in Russellville, very pleased with the work. He guarantee's the work for life. If you'd be interested, let me know and I'll get you his contact info.

I chose a separate method for the rear tail lights. I purchased a set from a guy off of ebay who paints the lens.

my cobra foglights came already smoked when i ordered them and I have the factory smoked headlights, but I'm going to do the same thing as showtime and paint my taillights. There is a really good shop here in town who will do the car for around 170, he does really great work and he is a big time mustang guy. let me know if you would like to use him and I can get a for sure price on them, he has redone a few windows on my car and put a brow on it and does great work for great prices, i believe he has done a few of showtimes cars also

Jake I will definetly do that. That price sounds about right for what Jerry tints the cars for right. I havent had him do a whole car of mine yet so I'm not totally for sure of the price. Pastor J, That has got to be one of the best looking cars I have ever seen in my life. Absolutely Gorgeous and stunning car. Also Jerry is going to try and bring the mystic out to the track Saturday and he will have it at mustangs on the mountain

I had mine painted and they look glossier than my actual paint. I know a guy who has done about 10 cars for the other club I am in. Mine turned out great and so did all of theirs. He charges $85 for the rear lights and he can do all of the markers or whatever you want done. I have the guy that puts on the clear bra's on the front of cars, he owns a viper and uses it at carshows to advertise his business. I had him custom make covers for my headlights, foglights, and corners out of the same material but it was tinted. It was perfect, It will never fade, peel, bubble, and can take rocks at high speeds with no problems. Let me know if you want any of these numbers and I will get them. Good luck on whatever you choose to do. I am planning on going to track day this weekend so if you go you will see their work.

I'm pretty sure from lamin-x you can get a sheet that you can cut to fit. That's what I'd do, just see if they'll sell a small square sheet then just cut it out.
