Dude if you're looking at $200 tints you better be talking about all your windows and your lights.

is this some special tint for these lights? or are you using regular window tint?
If so How the hell do you get it to form to the shape of the taillight? A heatgun?

Like I said, I tried it and couldn't get it to work. I still have half a roll left in my fathers garage. I used the static cling tint, which is what most of these light tings are made of because it's very flexible.

HA no it wasnt a tint kit. It was the actual tail lights themselves that have already been tinted.

I don't know how you did it. I tried doing it myself with window tint and it doesn't bend correctly to fit the curves in the lights. At least I couldn't get it to.

Try these tints or even These tints.
You are correct about the curves being difficult, I didn't think of that. When I said I'd tinted a lot of my cars when I was younger I was talking about the glass...

Still, I'd never use spray tint. NEVER.

I've seen spray tint go both ways. I've seen it turn out really well, and I've seen it run and look like crap. I guess it all depends on your level of paint skills and your patience.

What image is on your ford symbol?
You can find those ford oval symbol replacements on ebay and crap it's just a skull head one
I was looking at something like that. This is the one I want. I think that would look sick on a black Stang.
that would look sick on a black stang... especially one with BLACK rims and RED brake calipers!
no BLUE brake calipers that's what I wanna repaint mine to but yeah that symbol is pretty nice, I think they have like hologram ones too

yeah the symbol on the ford emblem is a skull "i call my GT SKULL"
I paid about $30 "I THINK" including shipping for the tints on ebay. Very easy to instal using lots of soapy water and a blow dryer.
