Fs: Smoked Taillights

i have a 10 ft roll of heavy duty tint made just for car lights.
i can tint your taillights with this stuff. It will cost $45 + shipping for me to do your taillights. it is not cheap stuff, i got it from stickercity.com. it is not like tint spray that is not removable. this is 17mil thick and super sticky.
or, i can sell you a 1ft x 2ft section of this (enough for 1 taillight) for $20.
see the quality of this stuff in these pics:

(the bottom looks screwed op because this taillight has a hole in the bottom...)

tint roll-


this makes your taillights look amazing, youll love it.

It is very easy to lay down the film.
On the curved part on top, use a hairdryer to make the film a little more flexible. then, use scissors to trim the outer edge.
then, carefully cut out the film covering the white part with a razor.
do this with plenty of light.
Not precut to fit W203, just 1ft x 2ft sheets.

pay with personal check, paypal or money order.

to remove, just heat with hairdryer for a minute, and peel off.
Get a $2 can of Goof-Off at any hardware or autozone to remove the residue.

do your taillights look like this:


if so, id guess it would be $40 to do the taillights and $15 to do the ones on the trunk. plus shipping.

do you want to make the whole thing smoked or just the red part?

rlee,

Tinting the SEDAN tails are very easy, but tinting coupe tails and other tails that require "concave" surfaces is not a easy job, the stickercity tint films are a little too thick to do so.

one answer to that is....

after you measure the tint film cutouts, spray the soapwater solution then HEAT UP THE TINT FILM with a hairdryer, make sure its VERY VERY hot, the after you put it on, shape out the concave areas before you do the surface.
