At last!

Had these laying around for over a week. Been trying to reach the nearest installed for a week however after 6-7 failed attempts I decided to give it ago. The front came out fine but the sides came out terrible but it's not too bad from far away so I'll keep it temporarily until I get them painted professionally.

Note: looks better in person.

Like I said the sides didn't come out too great and there's a bit of bubbles. Even then they still came out great and everyone seems to love them (around here at least). I'm not too handy with cars so if I could do it, I'm sure anyone can.

It does make it easier to have a helping hand though. At the end I'm happy since I saved the cash instead of paying someone else to do it and the satisfaction of knowing you have done the work feels great.

are we speaking about the smoked tailights (tailight film) here??? if you are, give it about a week and those remaining bubbles will go away... leave it out in the sun and let the sun do the rest...

did my own install as well and all the handful of remaining bubbles went away in a few days...

Are those the 3/10s? I love how the GTR overlays look from straight on, but from any other angle they just look weird to me. Example, look at your passenger tail light in the first picture. And as frty9 said, leave it out in the sun and some of the bubbles should go away.

X2, maybe it's because it's cloudy and or dark and it doesn't show up well.
