Default Tailight tint. (RED)

My red tint finally came in the mail & i decided to put them on today. found out it was only 1 sheet of tint 24"x12" so it was hard trying to use 1 sheet for 2 lights, but some how i managed to make it work. first time with no experience with putting on tint. tell me what you guys think?

BEFORE! :


AFTER! :

$13.99 + $9.99

I'd rather spend the extra $25 and get the $50 tails someone mentioned.

Personally I'm getting these....


But they are $200 and I don't want to drop that cash on tails yet.
I'd just get the $6.99 thing that the OP mentioned, just to hold me over.
