Not recommended, film can cause shield to crack, only use on glass.

You probably could if you think its worth the headache trimming and smoothing the film out. I just bought a replacement one for my RK on ebay at the link above for 80 bucs!

I never quite understood modifying the stock shield, and possibly screwing it up, when aftermarket is so available and leaves the stock shield untouched.

This is where I got my bagger shield and it's been great:

Cheap, and no worries (but I do have the stock shield available if anyone needs it)

a tinter told me the glue they use would harm the plastic causing it to become very cloudy and eventually deteriorate the plastic/lexan.
