Default Anyone have experience with non pre-cut Lamin-X films?

i want to buy a couple sheets for my foglights before i put them on because I live on a gravel road and would rather not chip the hell out of the lenses....
but anyway, i was wondering if it's a pain to cut it to fit a specific shape...

thanks for any help

I have some at the house, but have yet to use it. I had the same plans as you. Fobby has done it before and I think Scott (0psi) has as well.

Where do you get it from? I can't stand the taillights on my wife's Pilot and would like to make them all red.

I have the precut ones for my headlights, and it was a PITA. Make sure you do it when it's warm out and dont get your finger prints on them. The stuff is pretty thick and makes it hard to work with.

Mine looked like ass for 2 weeks until the bubbles dried, now you cant tell I have them.
