been debating on weather i want tinted tail lights or not. i wanted just a slight smoke tint, but i was going to try vinyl film this time around see how i like it, atleast if i test out different shades of tint i can easily take it off if i want. i ordered these matte black on ebay and put them on last night. still debating if i like them or not. i might order some lighter smoked tint, and this time probably not go with a matte. i just want to have that theme of black/white (stormtrooper look as i say), and ill be doing the black out mod for the headlight soon so it would be perfect match...what ya guys think? i like the way the vinyl film makes the lights look at night, sorta like they have bars like the lci tails, hard to capure it with my phone but in person the "bars" stand out, pretty cool actually,

total cost 9.00 shipped from ebay and about an hour install

Vinyl.boy is his eBay name. It's the 24x48 matte black vinyl. Very fast shipping. Came rolled inside a pvc pipe. Instructions included. Use a heat gun and be very patiance, the taillights have a raise on the side which takes working with and heating to get it to stretch, just heat, and with your hands/fingers form it in shape. Takes a while but it will eventually form into shape. Very tiny air bubbles will eventually go away in the heaT/sun after a few days. For the price I would order two incase you mess up. Any questions ask away I will help all I can
