Is it normal window tint? Did you put it up to the light, cut it out, peel the back off, then spray light with water/soap solution, and squigy for a tight fit??

Also, is that a wings west nose? Did you just install the nose and not the rest?

I like it, it gives it that e55 benzo look. I could never do it as my car is white, and it would upset the theme and lines of the car. I have a white car, with clear head ligts, red and clear tails and it all looks so linear. But i love that smoked look.

I was taking note of your florida liscense plate. You should try to get this plate on your next registration. Its the best I've ever seen. Ohh, and the guy didn't ask for it, it was automatically generated by FloDOT.

Yup.those tint only go outside at the tail light. and those are tint sheet i got from K-mart( those u can put on ur window with soap/water). but make sure u clean ur tail light b4 u put on the tint. and those close up one is those dust built up while i left my car overnight outside of my house. as the turning light u still can see it while at daytime.

I tried using regular window tint, but it was quite hard because the surfaces are curved. I even tried cutting two pieces to fit the curves better, but no matter what, there were bubbles. I think I'm going to stick with the tint spray. That stuff comes right off with varnish.

Off the subject, what kind of exhaust tips do you have ? They look real good. They're 3", custom or no ?

Did the packaging have any warnings about applying it to acrylics or plastics??

Let us know how it's holding up. Every tint shop that I have ever spoken with said, it's just not possible to get tint to stick to a taillight. Yours looks stuck on though...

Question

I went to KMart to check out the goods. There was no window tint anywhere near $3.99. The window tint film was around $11.99 or so. They did have a roll of static cling windshield tint that was around $3.29. Was that what you used?
