Tinted Tailights...the pics

I used smoked lamin-x...it's was surprising a perfect match to the SE tint. Looks pretty nice IMO and the best part is it is completely removable...any opinions or comments are welcome...I have an extra sheet which I might be selling or I may use to do the side markers...

Very nice. Awesome look and not too dark. I am thinking about doing something like that on mine. Just can't decide on a tint film like you used or the spray tint (I've read some write ups about pulling the lights apart and doing it on the inside of the lens).

Also, I would definitely do the sidemarkers.

That would look really hot on my blk max, if your parting with the extra film let me know.

Where did you get your film...is it any different than the tint film they use on the windows? What shade is that? I have already blcked out my clear side markers with night shades tint spray but don't want to use that method on my tail lights. Will def look killer on a blk Max. Nice work!

If you do a Google search for lamin-x you will find dealers. He already stated in his first post that it is the smoked film.
