Not bad -- how'd you do it? If you're going to re-do, I assume window tint?

Was expecting something darker though I'm not a fan of tinting headlights or tails.

Well its almost the same idea of a window tint, but its adheasive. You just clean the lens, spay some soap water to the lens and the film and just put it on,,,take out all the water out with a a credit card and use a hair blower to make it stretch and fold it around the corners....my first time doing it too.....and the guy on ebay had a red and a darker one, but didn't want to go too dark. IMO too dark makes it look like a rice rocket....let me know if any other questions..

hard to tell by pictures. but based on it, given fact i'm not a fan of tinted tails, looks decent.

any darker will kill it
any lighter, might as well stay oem (of course, hard to tell by pics)

I like it man. My car is the same color as your's and I painted the inners this weekend. Did not tint them just made them red again with some candy red hobby paint and clear coats. As we all know they fade after awhile.

When I was done I wished I had tinted all of them slightly. and removed my badging as well. Oh well next weekend I guess.

Also wished i had checked my damn rear driver's side liscence plate light since it goes on and off when it wants to while i had the linner trunk liner removed.

I think since my roof is painted black the tint would look really good on my car. Still thinking of doing the same

Goes well with your car.

I like the fact that it's not too dark since your car is silver. If I was driving behind you in the day-time, I'd probably take a second look and think to myself, "Are those tails tinted?"
