Default Pro tail light tint?

What is the difference between the spray-on tint I can do myself and the tint that I send to someone?

or what about the film? can the film actually be applied to the entire tail light without a bunch of seams etc?

difference in the material? not much... but the application method(they would use a spray gun while you use a cheap spray can) similair to painting your car with spray paint vs having a professional do it.

the film shrinks with heat, Im not sure how much of a contour it will shrink to, as to wheather you can get a flat peice to conform to the very round shape of the light. but Id bet you could.

The taillights would be tricky with Vinyl, because of the contours, but it can be done. Not sure if I'm going to attempt this yet. We'll see.

Not yet. A few people have ordered it in black though. Let me know if you're interested.

The 3 kits I have for the taillights are for the combo lamp. One is a redout for the turn(being that red turn is legal), the 2nd one is a redout with the reverse portion smoked. The 3rd kit is all smoke(both turn and reverse) Pics will be up soon. I wanna post pics of my sidemarker overlay first.
