Smoked taillights. Perfect install! 56k WARNING!! =D
Hey guys, havent posted on here for awhile, been busy, but I wanted to post some pix of the smoke vinyl taillight install that me and my friend did. Took us about 1.5 hours to finish the job. Was pretty smooth from start to finish. Did it around end of January. Got the film precut for cheap on ebay from a guy name firearm01. Much better than painting your taillights imo. Finally had a chance to take some pix.

I had my tails redout for a whole year plus. Was getting tired of the look so wanted to do something different for a change. I REALLY like this look right now and it only cost me about $40 to do this. I can always take them out and redo the reds if I change my mind. Thats whats modding is all about!

When installing the vinyl, you will definitely need another person helping you. The blow dryer is your friend, so use it often when installing the vinyl. It will help line up the curves on this taillight. Heat up the vinyl for about 3-4 seconds on hot air so that you can stretch the vinyl then flatten it against the surface of the taillight. Its kind of hard to explain unless I am physically doing it, hope you get the idea though.
