a friend of mine did his tail lights, first with the film and heatgun which turned out looking like ass because its so hard to get on there with no wrinkles and the edges are hard to get perfect too.

he then took it off and sprayed his tail lights, which again looked like ass due to it not being shiney or even.

after a month or so of getting clowned on for having "rice tailights" by pretty much everyone except middle school kids, he went back to normal (non-smoked). alot of ppl consider it rice, just another cheap "mod" that broke high school kids do to D16 civics and the like...

^yeah agreed.

I tried the film 'just cuz' no intention of really keeping it on since the cops here are dicks.

The film is really hard to put on without bubbles. get it done right - spray it if youre gonna do it, have a spare just in case you get in trouble w. the law. lol

I made my tinted tails from "static cling" tinting film from autozone, I just heated it up with a heat gun and applied.
