@@shometint Well, I have done one tail light so far. I would give it a B+. However, I destroyed the first sheet of material trying. The problem is my tail light is an extremely challenging shape I now realize. Its curved the entire way, and is long all the way to a sharp point. The material wants to bunch up. Imagine a very elongated teardrop, cut in half. Its not the point part is hard. Its the spherical section. But, not impossible. I will post a final photo somewhere and link it. Thanks again.

@shometint Жыл бұрын

You can do it wet, but doing it dry would be the way we would recommend it be installed. A heat gun is what we would recommend. The film is supposed to be post heated to 200° and a hair dryer won't get it that hot. You could remove your headlights prior to installation if you're afraid of your paint getting too hot.
