No problem! Here's my favorite picture I have of my car to date which also displays the Lamin-X redout overlays nicely.

I LOVE those wheels !!!!
I've seen plenty others on this forum, and at the GTG's, but THOSE were absolutely made for a black SRT6 !!!

3DSM 0.06? I think is the model for those wheels.

Did a bit of research and it seems a lot of people have issues putting that Lamin-X on their tails and headlights.
Example:
WILDCAT's Lamin-x fail and review

I am thinking of just removing the entire tail-light assembly from my Crossfire and taking my time doing it inside. Good idea?

The headlight tint looks nice and it claims to:

Have you noticed all the hazy headlights on the road? Those headlights are breaking down from the sun's UV rays. If you want your headlights to keep their original shine, you need to protect them. Lamin-x headlight film not only protects from the harmful UV rays, but from normal road abuse such as sandblasting and gravel impact.
My headlights are pristine since the original owner had them replaced under warranty due to fogging up. thinking it might be the ticket to help them look awesome all the time. Might as well do the foglights too.

I installed Lamini-X headlight and fog light clear covers 3 years ago after refinishing mine.
At first, there were a few small bubbles, but they all went away after about a week.
Still look great today, just like 3 years ago !
I highly recommend.

Had the Lamini-X and had no complaints. I decided to remove it after two years because I wanted to go back to stock look.

I installed mine in the evening as it was begining to get dark, with the tailights still on the car and without a heatgun....lol. Like I said before, my only reccomendation would be to have someone assist you with lining things up. Otherwise it was a very simple & straightforward installaton process.

That's how mine were as well. I had a few bubbles on both tailights following installation - some of them went away on their own within a few days and the bigger bubbles I popped using a sewing pin needle. They're now 100% bubble free and look flawless.

Correct. Very popular wheel in the VW/Audi & Subaru communities.

Glad to hear positive reviews on holding up well over time. I would just be worried after removing them and it causing issues with the lense on the headlight, but that is not the case, if anything it protects them!

I waited to order mine due to emailing Lamin-X on possible Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. Well it will pay off.

20% + FREE shipping on all orders. Code is CYBER20. 11/26 to Midnight December 1st

Very nice. And I can't imagine them damaging the headlight in any way upon removal. Vinyl on paint over an extended period of time can be bad, but I don't think that's the case with headlights.

Yeah I have the template made by a member here and you just need to take the file to a competent vinyl shop in your area. Easy for them to cut it to the right dimensions without issues. I never got around to mine because I added others things like the TB upgrade, EuroCharged tune, cambers arms, and some other goodies like rear LED strips under the tails. I will get it done when I'm not too busy with my new job lol.

LX1130NEWS Takes 30% and free shipping. Ordered red tail lights, smoked headlights and foglights. Could of done blue or yellow, but decided against it. Would stick out too much and not look that good IMO on my graphite coupe.

I am setting up an appointment for a dealer not far from me to custom fit with area cut out for lights.
Adrian_X has been a great help to me in providing info.
Will keep all posted and try to do pictures for here.
Never posted pictures here so that will be new to me.
