Does anybody have a source for the clear film protector to fit over the NLA 328 fog lights?
I have bought from Pegasus racing and Griots . Both were 3M films but Pegasus sells a thinner , lower cost version . 3M also have professional installers that do as much/little as you want . Mine is called Invishield or UltraShield . Had entire front of car done up to an area even with the top of the louvres on the 328 hood . Was about $750 a few years ago and works great .
I used 40 mil glossy clear film from Lamin-X to cover my 328 foglights. www.lamin-x.com You can get two 6" by 12" sheets of the film direct from Lamin-X for $25. That's enough to do 4 foglights. The foglights are just slightly smaller than 3" by 12" so you can get 2 out of each sheet if you are careful. It was pretty easy to install. 40 mil film is pretty thick - you certainly don't have to worry about wrinkling it! I cut the sheet the long way and then lightly stuck it onto the foglight making sure there were no bubles underneath. Then I used a razor knife to carefully trim around the edges of the light. Then I used a soft rag to press the film down tightly onto the lens. After some careful trimming the plastic film is all but invisible. You have to get down on your hands and knees and look very closely to be able to see it. And the thick film is quite "cushion-y", it would take a heck of a whack to crack the lens now.
I did my 328 using Griot's 12 mil material. I traced a template and then cut it out. You should buy the positioning spray and squeegee so you can locate the material in the correct spot. It won't stop a boulder but probably protects against the normal size tuff..
Mitchell, I also used the Lamin-X film on my driving lights. I found it for sale online Lamin-X site as well as on umnitza.com. The umnitza site had a 7"x16" sheet of 40mil film (item #1716) for $19.95. Way cheaper than Griots and much thicker too. I went with umnitza due to proximity (they're in So. Cal.) hence shorter shipping times. Like Jeff328 stated, just do a rough cut to shape, attach and trim. Just leave the adhesive backing paper on while you do a few trial fittings and when you get one side in the ballpark, use the backing to mark the film for the other side (symmetry comes in handy once in a while). The film is very easy to put on and the stuff is virtually invisible after you're done. After what I went through finding a replacement for my cracked LH lens I may even put a few more layers on them. About 10 ought to do it. Hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you! Ciao, Vincent
