Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments. To answer some of the questions...

I bought the film on ebay through seller "smokeheadlights". The seller currently isn't auctioning any kits, but they have a store in California, Sticker City. The phone number is 1(818) 905-7059. Website is STICKERCITY.com

To answer some questions...

I don't know if you can use regular tint film to properly mask the taillight. I originally attempted to do that to tint my sidemarkers, since I ran out of the film, but it was not possible. Regular tint wouldn't go around the sharp turns. I wouldn't reccomend it either, because as they were applying it to the marker, it looked terrible.

This film is a 3M product. When my tint guys were removing the protective backing, I saw the label. It is thick, and goes on similar to window tint, but has some elasticity(sp), so it can be stretched. Once applied, my guy just pushed all the bubbles out.

I'm not sure what the percentage is, there was a lighter smoke, and the dark smoke.

Hope that helps out, and again, thank you for the compliments.

-James
