Wow... very nice for sure...
Good job w/ the car... As much as the stock headlights/tail-lights draw me to these cars, I think the blacked-out looks goes great on your car!

Very clean, like the whole look of smoked tail lights. You should smoke your clear corners, and complete the look.

It's a lamin-x kit. Nice because it's removable, shitty because.. it's removable. The front is 100% fine and was an easy install. The rear looks excellent from behind but up close you can tell it's a vinyl application. YOU WILL NEED A HEAT GUN to apply the rear, and there is definately a learning curve(I would do much better if I did it again). Again, they look fine but a real smoke job would be so much better. I wish there was somewhere local I trusted to smoke them, i'm too worried I'll mess em up if I try to paint them myself.
Also, if you go the lamin-x route(which is excellent to see if you like the look) I suggest getting the blank kit and applying then cutting around. It would probably be a lot less hassle than trying to stretch the pre-cuts to fit properly all the way around(like I did). also the fog precuts are a little small, may be due to heat buildup?
I do want to smoke them but didnt want to pay extra for such a small amount of vinyl. I might end up test painting them since they are fairly cheap to replace if I screw it up(as opposed to headlights).

that is great. i'll tell you that i did get the lamin-x film as well. bulk. but for me they were still very hard. i did mess up and have to cut certain sections such as the inside upper corner so they're noticeable. i went with the tint application, but after looking at yours, i probably shoulda went with the gunsmoke. well done man.
