Had it once. But started to bubble around the edges. So I removed. I want them back. Thinking about having window tint this time. It seems to hold better.

Here is mine pre and post smoking. I used Headlight Armor for the tails and Bat's overlays for the reverse lights.

Wasn't sure how it would turn out but I really like the look now.

That's a bummer to hear. Guess I was looking for a little confirmation

I guess I'm not totally sure on this. Seems a little subtle / sexy to me, the red lights just stood out SO MUCH.

If I'm gonna re-think this, I should probably get them off sooner rather than later? Anyone ever take off Headlight Armors / overlays before? Problems with residue??

Thanks

Don't get me wrong...it doesn't look bad, it's just that I think it looks better before. The taillights are hot and the contrast is good on SMB...let it show!
