your car would be absolute perfection if the tail lights were not tinted.

^ Yeah maybe to you it would be...

Everything's perfect on his ride, including the tails. All flows, you just have to mod accordingly.

^ yeap as i recommend get it professionally sprayed...

you don't really need to use soapy water, all you do is a heatgun to make it stretch and lots of patience...but most of the time, you will screw up the top part of the tails where it curves....so prepare to buy more than 1 set.

Really appreciated your kind word ^^

Not too sure, but the shop that my friends went to has a chemical that strips off the smoke. so yeah. different shops do it differently...some sprays are not reversible...
