What's The Best Way To Install......
 
tint film. I just ordered some off ebay cause a friend got it and it looks amazing, i just want to know the best way of installing it without getting any bubbles in the film. If you know how please help me and for the guys who are gonna say i should've bought VHT Nightshade, i got this just to test it out and see if i like smoked out taillights, that way i can easily remove it if i dont like it.

make the surface very wet so you can slide it around to where you want it, then get a squeege or plastic putty knife and slide it across the surface to get all the bubbles out of the film. Then after that trim the excess off the edges and your done.

Sorry but you should have gotten VHT, tinting your corners,taillights etc.. IMO looks horrible. Its ok as long as your not picky about perfection. VHT will give you a very smooth surface with no bubbles and there are great write-ups on how to do it. But im never one to flame someone for what they wanna do. If your set on using tint follow the advise from Z28LS1camaroguy. Good luck with the mod.

thanks z28 that's gonna help a lot and tenn im just doing this to see if i like it smoked, it's cheap and if i dont like it than i dont have to replace the entire tail light i can just take it off.
