Any way you could do the center brake light, I think that would pull it all together.
Then add a license plate louvre ( grill looking thing)

Don't forget to let us know how this holds up over time.

looks GREAT...I like!

hmm. not sure I like it. Looks like pantyhose stretched over the lights. The youtube video, the holes in the material seemed smaller and created more shine. Seems like you'll get a lot of dirt built up in those little holes.

Not trying to offend, just giving you an opinion (and we know what opinions are). I liked it and was interested when you posted the video, but it seemed there was more shine to the lens when done (like spray tinting, or the plexiglass type). Do you think they sent you the same stuff that they advertised? Like I said, seems like the webbing was much tighter in the video..

lol im not offended nor am i upset, just giving you a rough time. well the soobies lights are also twice the size of my lights so take that into account. color wise i didnt order the shiny style they come in like thirty colors so i ordered the dark black. i like te matte look but plenty of color combos on the site to choose

going back to the web site i think they used thelight black or darker grey colors. looking at how the film reacted to touch mine acted the same way i think its just a camera quality plus the bright lighting of the video that made it so shiny. ill let everyone know how it holds up. it rained yesterday and the film is fine as far as i can tell

I resurrected this post because we need an update on the wear of this product. Has anyone else bought it yet? If it's still good Shawnksf, let us know!!!
