Hey, I got them in the mail from whitevdub today. (great seller!) And got them put on. I must say that they fit pretty well. had to trim some but still looks nice. here are alot of pics as i did the tint. They are in the garage because it was raining outside! [:(] These pics were taken with the lights on, but no one pushing the brakes:

First 3 are with the lights on and no tint:

I like it. It's nice and subtle, and it doesn't affect the light output of your lights. It actually looks much better with the tint.

What brand is it?

Very light tint, but it looks much better. I guess you'll never take them off because they're too dark [:)]

lol well i was bored so i took alot of pics. and this way people know that it doesn't change the light at all. and looks great. yeah its not dark at all but it changes the way the rear looks especailly from the side view. They are from Headlight Armor

I have the same exact shade from headlight armor on mine also. One thing i didnt like was the smaller pieces, which were a lot harder to get right because of the uneven cut. The bigger ones fit perfectly.

thats true. the bigger ones were easy, the only part i had trouble with was the little point on the little one. But i knew trimming was part of the game before i got them!

Yes it is. I just have the part right under the small light where the edges arent fully sticking to the taillight. Im borrowing my friends heat gun tonight to melt that minor part on. Ill post some pics right after so you guys can see how the light smoke looks on white. I personally love it. But i'm hoping to actually get them painted soon.

its b/c my car ia a lighter color I believe. The silver makes it look darker, also my pic was taken out in the sun
