Arrow Bat's Headlight Overlay(PICS)

I wanted to cut down on the excessive chrome on the the headlights, so I did a Smoke Overlay over part of the housing .

How hard is it to get off in case my first attempt doesn't go as planned and I have to start over? Will is peel off over time on its own?

The Vinyl is very durable and lasts a long time. People have told me how well they've held up over the years in harsh weather conditions, and carwashes!

Thumbs up

VERY nice! A much less risky alternative to opening up the headlight housings and painting everything

BTW, you guys don't have to worry about Bat. He does very good work.

Anyone thought of covering the whole headlight?

Would look good on a superblack. Perhaps it would be a good idea as long as it didnt interfere too much with the brightness of the beam!
