Give your 2022–2026 Subaru WRX a darker, more aggressive rear-end
appearance with our precision-cut Rear Bumper Reflector Tint Overlays.
These smoke-tint overlays visually reduce the bright appearance of the factory reflectors
while allowing their reflective properties to remain visible.
Each overlay is computer-cut specifically for the factory rear bumper reflector shape,
providing clean, vehicle-specific fitment with no trimming required.

Installation Guide
Installing your WRX rear bumper reflector overlays is straightforward and requires
only basic tools. A wet installation is recommended because it allows each overlay
to be repositioned for accurate alignment before the adhesive is secured.
Recommended Tools
-
Felt-edge or hard application squeegee
-
Surface slip solution in a clean spray bottle
-
Vinyl-safe surface-preparation cleaner
-
Clay bar, if needed
-
Clean microfiber towels
-
Heat gun or hair dryer
Step 1: Prepare the Reflectors
Thoroughly clean each reflector to remove dirt, dust, wax, ceramic products and other
surface contaminants. Use a clay bar when necessary, then complete the final cleaning
step with a vinyl-safe surface-preparation solution. Dry the reflectors completely
before beginning.
Step 2: Check the Installation Conditions
Install the overlays in a clean, shaded and temperature-controlled environment.
Never apply the film in direct sunlight or to a hot, cold or wet reflector.
For the best results, we recommend an installation temperature between
65°F and 80°F.
Step 3: Prepare the Slip Solution
Use a vinyl-safe surface slip solution. If a professional solution is unavailable,
mix approximately 16 ounces of clean water with one small drop of mild dish soap.
Too much soap can reduce initial adhesion and extend the drying time.
Step 4: Position the Overlays
Identify the driver-side and passenger-side pieces before removing the backing.
Lightly mist the reflector and adhesive side of the corresponding overlay. Align
the film with the top edge of the reflector, then carefully position it over the
entire application area.
Step 5: Squeegee the Film
Once properly aligned, hold the overlay in place and begin squeegeeing from the
center toward the outer edges. Use controlled, overlapping strokes to remove the
slip solution and air trapped beneath the film.
Step 6: Secure the Edges
Apply gentle heat to help evaporate remaining moisture and activate the adhesive.
Avoid overheating or overstretching the material. Firmly press around the entire
perimeter to ensure all edges are properly secured.
Step 7: Inspect and Allow to Cure
Inspect the completed installation for trapped moisture, air pockets or loose edges.
Allow the vehicle to remain in a warm, dry environment while any remaining moisture
evaporates. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the overlays to unnecessary moisture
for at least 24 hours.
No Trimming Required
Each overlay is precision-cut for the factory reflector shape. When correctly aligned,
no trimming or modification should be required during installation.
Installation Difficulty: 1/5
