Bought a precut smoke vinyl off of ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3548617&rd=1,1

ABSOLUTE garbage...the pieces arent precut well and it looked horrible when I was done

what a waste of money

His feedbacks looks okay, 1000+ with 98.9%.

Did you contact the seller and try to get a new one sent to you?

i was planning on gettin those same ones from the same seller..

did you install these yourself or by a shop? i heard gettin the vinyl on the taillights can be tricky cuz of its odd shape.

Yes but almost all his negative feedback is stating that the vinyl doesn’t perfectly fit. Also Vinyl has wrinkles and bubbles. I am sorry for your bad experience.

i got the red outs from that guy and it worked out great.

i used mild soapy water in a spray bottle... massaged the film in with a heatgun.
