at the very least, you need to go buy the chrome door/bumper strips you're missing and fill in all those gaps... it might have been done intentionally all around but it does not look right at all.





why didnt you take the taillights off the car when you tinted them? its like 4 bolts..

So wait when you guys smoke the tails you just tint them?
Aww man what was I thinking? I thought you guys took off the lens and painted that **** on the inside!

What level tint do you use?

cpone- it's not just normal tint. the it's a plastic film and most likely it's a 30mil film. pretty thick stuff.

upstategs - yeah, i was wondering what the heck that gap was on the bumper -didn't realize it was missing the chrome line around it.

about not removing the tail light, it's probably easier to do it when the tail light is on the car because then they have both hands to work on it vs having to hold the tail light and then apply the film on it.

Not digging it. The black tails leave no contrast. I have WHITE. BLACK RIMS/BLACK TINT. But my RED/WHITE LED TAILS leave contrast.

But i give you props anyway. Its your car, make it how YOU like it.

You're not the only one. I think they make the car look really cheap and ghetto.
