    Default Tinting tail lights and debadging complete




    Finally complete. Yes, it was hell to put on and there is a fold or two from inexperience. I would probably recommend buy a full sheet of vinyl and cutting it to the shape, would be easier then precut. But I am very happy with the complete look of the tinting and debadging. Lesson learned. Sorry about the bad pictures, it hasn't stopped raining, Ill try to get some better pictures later I just couldn't wait. Let me know what you think.

    Sorry didn't see the post. Not really sure. Stopped for snacks, then dinner, let the goop be gone sit for a bit to help remove the badges. Maybe 1 1/2 to 2 hours

    Waited till the hottest time of the day, but because it was alittle over cast I kept a hair dyer on it till the letters were loose. Then took dental floss and slid it behind the letters to take them off. goop be gone finished off what ever stuff was left. The middle badge you have to unscrew from inside.

    The dental floss does work as that's what I've done in the past too but really one of the best things I've found now is those little plastic smoothing tools the tint guys sometimes give you after you got your car tinted. It's like a little rubber spatula or something.
