Nope, called a few tint shops, they said no try bodyshops. Called a few bodyshops and they said yea, but they use transparent paint, not film. I don't want a permanent solution incase I dont like it anymore...

I am liking the tinted tail lights, but don't want a permanent solution. Hence I ordered some tail light tint from ebay. Application is a bitch, cant get it perfect lol bubble as hell. No one locally I know does this, hence I am trying to DIY it myself...

But before I proceed, and perfect this what are your guys thoughts on how it looks...

Before


After





Yes I will be doing the lower lights as well.
Im glad someone tried the tail light tint off of e-bay and posted the results.

I went the permanent approach and had the tail light painted with a tinted clear coat, but I also have a set of stock light sitting in the basement if I ever decide to go back to stock.

I can post pics later when I get on my desktop computer.
