thanks
I got it at home depot. One sheet wasn't big enough so I used two. It cuts really easily, I used hedge trimmers. I just lined up the seams behind the grill. And painted it with satin black spray paint.

There's no need to take them out. Take a plastic grocery bag and poke a hole in the bottom. Stretch the hole alittle bigger than the size of your marker light and then tape it down to the fender. Now just open the bag...reach in and spray your marker light with no worries of overspray because the bag catches any. It works flawlessly and takes 5 minutes.

Default VHT Night Shade

I had a question, I am looking to do the VHT Night shade mod. I looked into the product and they also sell a clear coat acrylic that looks like a protective measure. Has anyone done this after they did a couple coats of Nightshade?

If no, how does the VHT hold up over time? Snow, mud etc.

Thanks

I did my night shades before winter and it still looks like when I did it. I didn't do any clear coat.
