Taillight Tint

Fitment was absolutely horrible, lots of creases in the vinyl. Looks like **** up close, but to hell with it.

3rd brakelight has also been tinted, but not noticeable in pics

Looks good in the pictures, but if you say it sucks I know not to buy it now haha.

Maybe I'll have to stop being lazy and do it myself... oh well.

You didn't heat the tint enough to shrink it, that is why you have the creases. Using tint film is not as easy as it looks, especially on curved surfaces. Takes time and PATIENCE.

Looks good otherwise, though.

haha it was a combination of my noobieness and the poor fitment. yes i used a mixture of water and dishwasher fluid just like the instructions said.

thanks, ive had this Canon Powershot SD870 IS since december, im extremely satisfied with the quality of the pictures it produces.
i think its touted as the best compact point and shoot camera on the market.

Goddamn, your car looks super fresh with those AMG rims on. I say you keep them. And our Hoens are in so you can update with some more pics whenever you pick them up from me (or I'll try to drop them off within the week).

Seriously dude, teach me how to get good night shots like that. Mine came out like blurry pieces of ***. We should get a shoot going at some time soon when I have my rims back on for the summer... stupid snow.

haha thanks man
yeah im considering keeping the rims on for a bit while longer
sure they're all curbed up, but they compliment the car nicely

i think its probably just the camera. i use it in conjunction with a tripod and adjust iso settings accordingly. we'll do a photoshoot soon man.
