My personal opinion is that u should've bought the overlays instead first because its removable and second because its an even coverage from your pics it appears that your left tail light could've used some more paint around the edges especially the lower right corner
Let me ask you lets suppose you do get a ticket even with the brighter bulbs what will u do then?

im sure the safe way would be to sand up to a really fine grit(2000+)and then polish right?

These are my pics with a full tint wrap. Going for the black/white contrast scheme. Have other cosmetics in mind.

Gen 6.5 Turn signals were useless to begin with, now you effectively have non during the day time. It looks good though.

Thanks. I really like how it looks. I had an 07 with the same treatment. I asked the guy to tape off my reverse lights, but he opted not to. I ended up digging it anyways. Planning on doing a partial on my headlights. Just the outside corners. So from the side both front and back are black. I did my 07 like that with nightshades but I think I will go with someone wrapping it.

I tinted the white part of my 6.5 tails. But red.. Looked great but due to cheap material it turned pink and had to be removed.

I hope to find some good material to do this again.
