Default Where to buy headlight/taillight tinted protection films

Looking for like 30% or so smoke headlight and taillight protection film... there are a few sources online but I would like to find something local here in the NH/MA area and I'm not sure where to start my search. I'm trying to find the film in bulk rather than pre-cut kits. I called a sign shop thinking that with all the vinyl they deal with they would have a source and I called one of those places that does clear-bra but they only have clear film.

Any thoughts?

I'd think you'll have a hard time finding a recomendation for a dealer up north on this board. I have ordered from Lamin-X and had good experiences. I've ordered pre-cut kits and full sheets.

I'm not looking so much for a specific place as a type of place ie. "Check a sign shop" or "I know pep-boys sells that shit"

Thanks I will check out their site.

Ok yeah, I checked out their site but they're just like the rest of them, there's dozens of sites just like them. $120+ for a pre-cut kit that costs them $.35 to make and probably doesn't fit right anyway.

IF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A PRIORITY. DO NOT ORDER FROM LAMIN-X!!!!

It has been well over a week since I ordered and paid and they STILL HAVEN'T SHIPPED YET! I called today to find out where the hell my stuff is and they said it's scheduled to ship today or tomorrow. Ridiculous!

are you looking for the protection of the film? Or the look? If your going for looks I would say go with VHT nightshades...

Well the film is already paid for so the decision has been made. The problem with spray tints is the inconsistencies associated with spraying and it is permanent... If I spray tinted my tail lights and needed to de-tint them at some point I would be screwed or on my way to audi to replace a seriously expensive set of LED tails.
