Are you the one that used this same kinda stuff to tint the back up lights? Looks good.

Is it possible to get some pictures with the lights on after the tint?

You bet. I'm not very good with night time shots. The first four are with a flash, the last four are without. The vinyl does dim everything a little bit, but I'll sacrifice that for the looks.

No, this is still from what I got from the last batch. I no longer work there, so no longer have ready access to it, sorry!

I used the same stuff to do the tail light and headlights on my Raven R6. Looks badass but still let's the light out. Very nice!!

Ask for perforated black vinyl (typically referred to as "day/night" vinyl). It's about $33 a yard (a yard will be 4' x 3').

You do pretty good with that vinyl. What year is your caddy?
