My Ride: stock 530i 2005
First i debadged my 530i. and
then i applied the smoke tail light film
the debadge went very smoothly
but the film wasn't that great,
i left out some bubbles
and on the light corner, the film wasn't smooth at all,
and the film wasnt long enough to cover the end of the light
kinda sad, this smoke film sucks, it is really short, not long enough to cover the whole light, but the bubbles is my fault.
do you guys think i should remove the smoke film, and ask profesional tint shop to do it again? or should i just leave it?

My honest opinion here mate.
I think it looks horrible overall. Number 1, I HATE cars that take off their badge. It drives me nuts. Secondly, why on Earth would you want to promote an accident by dimming your brake lights? The brake lights are very slick as they are.
