Thats a good deal just remember not to go too dark that seems to be causing the tails to warp from retaining too much heat. I think my tint is just right and has not warped at all

PM Red03SilSS not sure he did mine, leave the reverse light area untouched looks MUCH better

Im not really sure I can say how many coats I did on wades, it all depends on the volume coming out of the gun. If there is very little it could take 10 coats, if there is heavy volume coming out it could take 1. I would turn the volume down so that you dont accidently go to dark. And just dust light coats on there until you get the desired darkness, then clear it, but remember when there is just basecoat(dull looking) it will look darker than when there is clear on it. There are some other trick that I do, but well leave it at that.

I BELIEVE $100. SHIPPING WAS LESS THAN $20 EACH WAY ABOUT A WEEK TURN AROUND. MY JEEP IS GARAGED DURING THE WEEK WAS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME.

i actually just ebayed it and got one from the states! i live in the UK and couldnt find anything over here so i went global. dead easy to put on. it comes pre cut to size so just soapy water and when happy with position squeeze out the water and it will take to the lens.
good thing is that if you want it to it will come off no probs. paint wont!
