Default Smoking tails with tint film or spray. What did u use and how u do it?? Post some pics please!

info and pics. I have a 00 civic and was thinking about tinting the bottom of my tail light (clear half) with some 35% tint. My car is black and I have gunmetal C8's w\ polished lip, so im goin for that KnightRider look. But with the JDM\tastfull style in mind.

So dont' flaim my ***, I am not some highschool kid with Altezzas!

I used a spray on tint, I think the brand was Foliatec. I removed the tailights and sprayed thin coats until it was dark enough to my liking. Here are some pics.

Thanks for the compliments. I just used the film and cut it out until if perfectly fit onto the tailights. If you clean the tailights really well, (I even claybarred them) then the film stays on forever. But cutting out the film was harder than one would think it would be. It usually looks good from a distance and at night especially (because it shines) but when you look at it up close, it's not as purdy. But it still looks good if you take the time to do it right.
