Cheap and sexy mod for my Forte SX Options

[ronjr8102]

Looks sweet. I like how it is just smoked and not blacked out. I like how its not shiny like without the tint.

Looks really nice. Personally I like it in this shade. Too dark will get us a ticket very quickly here.

Several questions
Was it easy to shape, assuming you used a hair dryer.
How's the finish texture, is it smooth and can wax be applied to it?
Is there enough material for the MD models.
Link?

I've always wanted mines just a shade darker and this looks perfect.

Looks good, just the right amount of tint. Personally I would go a little darker but Mitch you got just the right amount to look factory.

It doesn't look factory... definitely darker but it's not a blackout cop magnet.

As far as the application, you need to be patient, I f'ed it up a couple times 'til I got it right. That's why I bought a big roll.

Texture-wise it feels pretty much like the stock taillight and yes it can be waxed.

Get two rolls like this and you should be golden:

Ok, here's a hi-res pic in the sunlight... that's sexy as hell IMO.

Normally, in sunlight those tails would scream "bright red". This is sweet. Best cheap mod ever.

I like it, A LOT! Smoked has a much better look than blackout.

IMO you should ALWAYS be able to see the reflector doing its' job, and that looks like it does it nicely.

Tom, that is a fantastic point about the reflector. And indeed the tint I applied allows the reflector to do it's thing.

I doubt most people with blackout tails even realize the negatives.

Looks great Mitch.
I'd like to do that too.

Thanks Mitch.

Can't beat the price and the look. I'll be getting this, and using the afflilates mall.
