I wanted a darker tint but at the time, that's the darkest film he had for taillights.
...hey Shawn did they use 20% on the taillights ?

Thanks Eddy. Hope you are keeping well.
No I let the experts do this for me, I am fine around mechanicals, but wrapping is not my bag. They make it look very easy though.

Thanks Gene.

Not sure if I should have done the A pillars and screen surround too, but I quite like it as it is.

When are we going to see some pictures of yours?

Cheers

Yes, I believe it was 20% but it is not the same type of film that they use for window tinting. This was more of a gel/solid type of film that allowed heat stretching, not paperthin like windows.

Thanks Sid

I do like the later tails, but SC's are so rare in the UK that no one knows the difference.
One day I will do it, when I have finished spending on other mods.

Great pics of some great looking cars. From the tops down and the t-shirts, looks like you in Moscow had better weather than upstate NY.

I guess there not too many of us who have that choice. My 02 white gold is for sale, but I'm actually having second thoughts about it. I'm actually enjoying having the first and last year of production. 8 years apart, but only 14k miles difference.
