Nicely done. I'm not a fan of the decals though, end up fading or having a matte finish. But then again, mine are painted so i have a prejudice against them for that reason i suppose haha. none-the-less, looks good and different since you left the reverse areas clear.

Nicely done, tint film is better than paint, you can always take the tint out.

We could never get away with that in California. Not usually a fan of blacked out tails, but I like how it flows with the emblems.

I did my own with a heat gun spent a couple hours but got it. The hardest part is the curve on the outer light.
