Ditto, I've had mine for a couple of months and haven't decided whether to tint the whole taillight, just the top or just the bottom yet....I guess I'll had to decide soon and will post pics when I do...

some suggestions that i have are:

1. Take the Tail light off before applying
2. Do it in a cool place

im saying this because me being a dumbass installed mine around noon while it was about 90+ degrees outside the backing kept on drying and was hard to apply. another is dont cut the tabs until you are done. and i recommend taking the tails off for a even wrap around i cut mine and its been a year, you can start to see some strinkage and some bad cuts i made. hope that helps and good choice on rockblocker, shits tough as nails

Does the tint have a little shine to it? I hate the ones that look flat and dull...

Rockblocker's a little difficult to apply at first, but once you get the technique down it's pretty easy. Deffinately use a lot of water/soap solution, and if you have a hair dryer use it, cause it'll make the film easier to work with. Search youtube for headlight tint or tailight tint and there's a couple of videos that show you how to apply it, which might help. Take your time, clean the light surface well and don't drop the film on the ground.
