Sorry I didnt see this post. I bought the entire roll I dont remember which one. Just dont get the precut as a square sheet is easier to work with.

welcome to the forums by the way. goodluck on the build! i'd recommend doing the two-tone contrast, looks definitely sick and get the tint shop to cut out the squares for your reverse lights...otherwise your LED bulbs go to waste (if you haven't already changed them out)

Thanks! I'm definitely gonna get the two-tone contrast and I'll make sure they cut out the squares....Will post pics once its done....I'm gonna get it done by this weekend....The shop already gave me a quote of $80 for both tail lights since I tinted my car their recently...not bad right?

wow, good deal. I paid $135, plus $25 for the reflector lights. make sure you ask them about a warranty, "Mr. Tint" gave me a 2-year warranty since they're on the outside of the car.
