That is what i used, is the Ebay crap. It sucked to get right. I think im gonna use the heat to fit stuff that comes uncut next time. I've already found a new set of tails for cheap. So we'll see how it goes.
Plus i have the added bonus of ditching the current heat warped tails i have.

Ditch the Film, use Niteshades and be done with it!! It is not that hard to do and the odds of messing up is like 1 in a 2000!
There are plenty of people whom went the Niteshades route, and looks perfect....Hell, I did it the first time and got it perfect with no prior painting experience, with the exception of painting model cars!!
Just my .08 (due to current inflation) though!!

Not to mention the fact the Heat from the 55 watt lamps in your heads and fogs might have warped them some.....don't know, never and will never try that!!
