time= 20-30 minutes
drying= depends on weather. sunny conditions a day or two. no sun, three to seven just to be on the safe side.

wash=dont wash for at least a week or so.

About 30 mins install, they take about 24 hours to set completely. I recommend using a heat gun to make the vinyl really set.

Good link, would be nice if their picture worked though, so you can see what your buying before you actually spend the money

No. Window tint is for windows..this kind of tint is specifically made and pre-cut for your tailights and to handle the outdoors unlike window tint.

DO NOT USE WINDOW TINT, just buy the kit for $50 it's precut and save yourself the trouble.

Thanks. I searched but didnt find anything except these that you did^^^obviously. I just got my rockblocker tint. I'm gonna wait to tint till spring thats what I've been told. Just wondering cause I got worried on getting in trouble for tint. I've searched and havent found problems so no worries on tinted tailights for me.
Got interested in Hella Supertones. Sound sick. heard them on Youtube.

Nice link and great cars. I like the red one. Do they have a visor? Just purchased a Acura CL vent visor <<<here but I think its too small... Anyone know better and bigger than that, but not too pricey.

35 is super dark, 20 works great, I used to drive by cops every day in a school zone no probs. 35 is just way too dark IMO

Still tryin to decide how this would look on my car. The first white cl with the tinted tails looks killer. Any body know how much a used set of lights should run me? If i do tint them ill be sanding them and painting them with a clearcoat/ single stage black mixture.
