I'm not a big fan of tinted tails, with the exception of black, but I gotta say you did a good job with yours. A nice shade - not too dark, not too light.

Looks good, nice & clean.

Honestly tho, I think yur car would look 10X's better if you lost those window deflectors. IMO they are a step backwards, just my .

yes they are but if you ordered the tints only they are about 50 percent lighter than mines so you should be fine,also plan on having a heat gun handy cause you will need it to remove the finger rolls.

not if you use a heat gun to get all the finger rolls out and flatten to the surface.
