Default Tail light tinting

Hey guys.
I ordered some tail light red tint from Ebay and they arrived today.
I am pretty sure I should have gotten some made locally as the quality of the film is pretty crap..very thin.
I decided not to attempt the install myself as I cant even put a sticker on straight or without bubbles.
I called Luc from Glosstech and to my great surprise he came out 2 hours later and quoted me $50 to install them.
It turned into a nightmare for him and took him 2 hours to do.
As a tradie that has had this happen to me I paid him a bit more than he asked for for his trouble and I am pretty happy with the result.
A couple of defects though not due to his skills more so to the quality of the product.

I could not be happier with his service.

I am very happy with the look but may look at a company using 3m film next time (if they peel)

Interesting I got mine from the same seller, nearly a year old now, i applied mine/watched my gf do it and was happy with the product.

Nothing to say they havnt changed the film they supply over time mind you.

Looks good. We did a group buy on batmobile overlays around a year ago now.. I found it pretty hard to put them on and these were supposed to be good quality. Really a job for two people, one with the hair-dryer heat shrinking the overlay on, the other smoothing and applying it with a card of some sort. I found it much easier to apply using a soapy water and then slowly pushing out the moisture as you wrap it around the light.
