I know they make some tint spray (lost link i had) for tailights and such....is there a certain reason why people are buying the smoked reflectors instead of spraying their stock ones?

yeah Im not sure Id want to spray paint the reflectors... donno, sounds like something a civic owner would do... film is better, but then you may as well buy them presmoked for the cost.
the only real application I see here is film onto clear reflectors, so they are "smoked" instead of "smoked amber", but now your at 70-80$... which is a bit high.
