Ok, so it took me a while and I was very afraid to do this at first but after seeing it in-person and looking at the effect at dusk and night its just AMAZING! I really love how it turned out. The tint totally transforms the look of the back and sets it off. Not for everyone, I suppose.

Sorry for pixel quality, I had it set on low and didn't know. I'll take better ones later if anyone cares to see.

Thanks, it was a film. Its on the brake lights obviously as well as on the reflectors on the bottom.

Yup, thats what I said. The guy that did it is the best in Chicago and has been working with vinyl and front/hood 3M guards for like 10 years. He used good quality stuff and the end result was really impressive because I was expecting a film to look dull and cheap.

Love the black out look. What about the rims? You should powdercoat it with gunmetal finish (not black). Just darken them a bit.
