That's just window tint that can tolerate the heat.
Check your local shop to see if they have the high temp film for this application.
Make sure they have a warrenty. I bet they can do your car for the same price or cheaper. Probably alot less.

Mine are the same ones you are looking at buying, I did them myself with a friend one night. Yes we did the back too, I'll try to find a pic of those. The backs are hard because of the crazy shape of those lights.

That looks nice and clean, right down to the invisible exhaust tips. Nice touch.
But seriously, I see the aftermarket unit, so don't flame me. Wish the S2 had the same light shape as the S1. They're even more ridiculously shaped.
How did you apply it? Did you just stick it on and squeeze out the air or did you use soapy water?

We cleaned the lights with soap and water the best we could and used a hairdryer to heat up the film as we put it on so we could stretch it out where necessary. We worked our way from the outer edges inward both front and back. The fronts are easy and go on quick if you pay attention to what you are doing. The back is not easy, there are some small parts of my back lights that aren't perfect but from more than a few feet away you can't notice it. Trying to make it stick/stretch around those curves is the biggest pain. We used a squeegee to get all the air out, you can also use a needle and poke the slightest hole in an airbubble if necessary and squeeze the air out through the pin hole and it should flatten/stick.
