Thanks, man.
I have done this on my previous cars that I owned for several years and had no problems in the past. I asked the same place that did my windows if there was anything that could do to tint that part - so they just used the same film as for the windows. They said I should leave the car in the sun for a good week or so more than the windows, just because of location and drying area of the tails. It has held up great. I also didn't want it too dark - it looks best at dusk/dawn.

Looks clean. Did you change those lights next to the projectors? That looks sweet, I just don't recall if the FL came like that stock (I have a PFL with two projector lights per side).

Are you referring to the light above the wheel well? If so, yes, those were amber sidemarker signals that I swapped for the smoked sidemarkers. They are DEPOs.

The tint has adhesive so I am assuming it's like a plastic sticker...

They did the exact same thing to my E55 - after almost 6 years of ownership and it has stayed as perfect as the day they put it on. They do exceptional work and I always go to them for tint/wrapping etc.
I attached a pic of the E55 tails that I had the same thing done ...
Hope this helps...
