ok i just took some day shots to compare the different settings

no lights


parking lights on (barely visable but who uses their parking lights during the day)



brake lights, this surpised me as to how bright and visable it is, I thought you'd hardly be able to see it duringn the day




just to let you guys know, during the night, these light up perfectly, as if you didnt even have the tint. So no worries at night

I think that the 35 is too dark personally, I could probably drive around with that on for like one day here b4 i got nabbed by johnny 5 :cop: I think that the 20 is much more subtle and will still look hot, just won't stick out so much, especially on black. I think itll look hot on your cyclone too

For window tint, the lower the % the DARKER it is.

However, for these taillight tints the numbers Rockblocker is giving us the HIGHER the % the darker it is.

It is the reverse of normal window tint.

20% = dark ruby color
35% = DARKER almost black color

bubbles shouldnt really be an issue... I installed mine a couple hrs. ago, and just went out to see them. no bubbles visible.

As long as you squeegee them all out while the film is still wet against the light (allowing the air to squeeze through) you should be fine.
