Default 06 Taillights with overlays?

Has anybody put overlays on their 06 taillights? If so please post pics. I wanna see how it looks when the LEDs are lit up behind the overlays. I just got mine so I'm extremely curious cause I like the tinted look. Thanks!

overlay gives you a DULL look.

lolz..you sell them so you have to say that. Keep in mind, i bought your overlay too so i know how they look. Lots of member here buy your overlay because they don't know how to tint it. Actually, they don't know how simple it is to tint it. Cost: $23 total.

I'm not denying the fact that painted ones are much more glossy. However, you stated that my Overlays are dull. When I think of dull, I think of a flat finish. I consider mine more of a semi gloss to glossy finish, though obviously not as glossy as yours .

another sample of my finish:

i think both look nice, ive seen bats that looked good as well as spray tint that looked good, all depends on how well you put both on.

Little OT: How much do a set of 06 tails go for?

the problem with tinting.. is ITS PERMANENT! id much rather go for the overlays, cause if one day you decide to sell the car, or if you dont like it... peel it right off.

i ordered tint film for my new 06 , whats the difference between that and "overlays", i ordered 20 percent tints for my rear tails..........im sure they are removable, ive had them on my previous car.....is that then a "overlay" becuase its a sticky piece of pre-cut film that can be removed?.
