Default Smokin' tailights poll!

Hey let me know what you think. I asked on another forum. Not very many voters and not a definite yes. Let me know what you think. Here is the stuff I'll use if I do it. Unless you've used it and it sucks...

Please let me know if this stuff sucks.

I forgot to add, it's a pewter camaro with black stripes down the middle. It might go good with it. If you need a pic I'll do it.

well i just tryed installing the tail tint.
well its full of **** lol.
all it seems to be is thicker window tint and i do see how it could look good.
theres no way you can put it on with out bubbles or creases in the film.
i actualy think night shades is easyer to do.
i tryed streaching the film and all that and it just wont work. i made shure it was wet[the instructions said to mix some alcahol and water] and spray it on and i know how window tint is done because i watch the guys do it a few times.
