Taillight tint..

I bought taillight tint off ebay and theres a 1inch gap all the way around.. I tried everything to try to stretch it out but I don't think that stuff will... This guy isn't responding and I'm about to give him a crappy feedback and return the item. I was wondering if regular window tint would stick to taillights like this tint stuff I bought, it had a more of a vinyl feel to it but maybe I'm wrong?

I got some from Bat and it was perfect. Great quality. I got the red out and smoked sidemarker overlays.

i have been told that window tint is not designed to weather the elements and will not last long in an exposed environment such as outside the car

Yeah, I tried that stupid ebay crap again today and it started ripping.. I got it on a few days ago and woke up late that night with food poisoning and my gf came over and told me the film and shriveled up and she peeled what was still stuck to my taillight... Yeah I'm mad. How much are the overlays Bat?

I luv prophecy's tails! That's what I call done right.

Here's mine for now...
I was thinking of doing color matched. But just haven't gotten around to it.




Edit to add: Mine is paint. Black + Clear mix.
