If I had a black CL I'd rather keep the tail lights as is, rather than smoked tail lights. Simply being that it doesn't contrast too well, and it makes the car look "off".

Is that to much black for you?

We'll see how it looks once someone with a black CL purchases them and installs them. If I don't like it, I won't buy them.
my cars black and i installed the tint earlier this eveneing. klepto took the pics so he will be uploading them once he gets home. by the way, they look asweome. unfortunaltey u guys will have to wait a bit longer to see the wonderful results of the 35% tint on a black and white cl.

alright here are the pics. The tint was OK to install, just make sure you get everything nice and wet (as with other things) before you get started. Line up one side and get that straight and then heat up the middle and work towards the other side. I still have some bubbles but hopefully they'll dissapear as it dries. Now....ONTO THE PICS

making sure its wet


one side done (shitty pic)


mines done


chuckz turn


one side done


him done

I like the look of it more, on Klepto's car. Cool mod though, nonetheless.

Now on white and silver, it looks hella good...but i think its just tooo black on a black cl....nice picts and mod though...

Klepto - Your car is looking SICK. Mad props!
All you need now is the rear lip and spoiler.


BTW - If I do get this tint cover, what's the lightest tint shade I can get?

I think the Black and white it looks great!! I have dark blue and they look awesme on ours.

The Film is a tint but not what you think. It will not come off unless you want it off.

At night with no lights on the tail light is smoked out, but during the day or when you hit your brakes it is just fine. You can see the red of the brake light from 500 ft. Which is the law here in AZ.

This product is to each their own type of product. For those that want it will be happy.
