How tough was it to put them on and line them up correctly. looks real good.

The hardest part is laying down the vinyl over a curvy area because the vinyl doesnt want to just conform to the curves.
Wrinkles show at first which you have to split up and spread out with your finger. If you dont you will have a nasty crease, which I did on the first attempt.
I was not patient and I rushed the first job, so i bought another set. There is no reason for anyone else to go through this.
Just start the job with patience and make sure you have at least a couple hours free.
Also make sure after you think you have the piece on well that you look very closely for air bubbles and get them out ASAP. Otherwise they are there to stay. If you make sure you dont seal down the outer edges first and work the water and soap out from the middle to the outside, you wont have a problem.
Gluck all, and I'll shoot for more pics soon!
Thanks BAT!!!

Nite shades tint seems black to me. I can't see much light getting through those.
Nite Shades darkness is variable. The darkness of the tint is dependant of how many coats you spray. The positives for Nite Shades are the fact that it will probably last a lot longer than this tint overlay because it is a spray. You can customize the darkness by applying a certain number of coats or you can spray patterns into your lights for a truly customized look. It is only $6 a can and you can spray everything else with it as well. The negatives are the fact that it requires you to remove the taillight, it is permanent, and it is a lot harder to do than just applying a tint film.

Do you have all of these ready to ship and can you give me a price with shipping to 28034. Thanks in advance!!
I'm in Mt. Holly and would love to see these overlays in person sometime if you have them on.

also... anyone who can answer... how hard are these to get back off once you put them on.
I have reservations about how good the smoked lenses would look on Brickyard, but would be willing to gamble $30 on the taillights to see. I just want to be sure I can get it back off easily if I decide I do not like it.
I see warm soapy water and squiggy to apply
What do I need to do to remove if necessary?

toykilla tinted his taillights mcduck...it looks really good...and i doubt anything you do to your car would make it look ugly
taking it off is probably about the same as removing a clear bra...but taking it off a light is less strenuous (no paint)
