Local Shop for Tint + Spoiler Installation

b1adesofcha0s · 02-27-2011, 11:54 AM

Ok so I noticed some bubbles in the tint on my right tail light in the past few days, but it wasn't really that big of a deal to me. I woke up this morning and I saw that there was a huge pocket of air underneath the vinyl

I just sent an e-mail to the guy at Xlnt Tint. I hope this gets fixed soon. I washed my car for the first time after getting the tint done yesterday, maybe that Is what caused the problem. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Here are some pics of the tail light:

All the problems are around the edges of the reverse light.

Can anyone tell me if that's a good one to get? It's from a top-rated seller, but I just hope its not some low quality junk.

I'm also considering getting tail light and roof overlays from Blue Batmobile here on the forum. Does anyone have any experience with these? How did it turn out? I won't do the install myself, will just get it done from the tint shop.

I have installers around the country. Email me to order

Sorry man, I already got all my tint work done. I decided against the roof overlay because it would look weird with the antenna sticking out in the middle. Thanks anyway!

Yeah my Eclipse eats the Premium stuff too, I have to admit, I dont do any casual driving with prices the way they are.. Money's too tight right now.

I bought the Z to drive it, so I'm not gonna let something like gas prices stop me. I'd rather cut back on other stuff and have fun with the Z.
