Looks good meng.  Get it a few shades darker and they'll look really pretty.

no window film will not work for you...i can sell you the square foot for 8 bucks each..you have to do another shade on top of the one you allready have, with three feet you have more than enough..you can also use the film to tint your side reflectors in your head lights with the film...so for around $24 + $5 shipping you can put it darker. lmk i have the film on hand ready to ship..

I like how it's a subtle tint. It shouldn't block too much light output yet still looks sexy. Good job meng! Smiley

yeah if i get anything again it'll need to be double since im going to take off this tint and put two new layers on.

thanks JT! it doesn't block much light at all. it's just i was going for a darker tint. but i may leave it like this.

ummm i don't know what percentage it is to be honest. but i think it's a lighter tint than the stuff i bought from you a few months back. i'll get a new pic of two after i wash it today. maybe that'll help clear them up.

oh ok. well maybe if you cut out reverse light to bring contrast of tint up a little since there will be lighter part on tail light to compare it to

I wouldn't go too much darker RJ or you'll be yanking them off in no time due to a repair order courtesy of MD state troopers.

that's why i recommended to remote part thats covering clear part. then it would look more oem since some cars have pretty dark red tails and clear backup lights, think about it

^i was thinking about doing that myself, but if you look at our tails, they have red lines through the clear reverse light.  i think if that's left it would clash pretty bad with the rest..  but try it, there's no harm in testing out something as simple as tinted tails.  thats why i was going to do it after a few other things soon.

rich i don't think i would be able to see any light coming out of my tail lights if they were as dark as yours lol.

i don't think i'll be cutting out the reverse section is help make the rest seem darker. it seems to me that it's gotten slightly darker over the week so im happy with it now. nothing too dark but not as light anymore.

Derrick: lol dude with my tint film over my tail lights and the new film on my windows, now im freaking out every time i drive most places. especially to school since i drive past a pretty major police station in my area.

^rj you live in MD right?  a cop can't legally pull you over for tint anymore.  it's a secondary offense here!  sooo as long as you follow all the other rules of the road, you'll be fine.. unless a cop wants to be a jackass.. haha
