Bluebat vinyl is high quality UV resistant vinyl and will outlast that cheap spray on junk. It can also be removed if you choose to change things up by just peeling it off. For the sake of fairness, you can purchase similar quality vinyl in bulk from METRODEPOT.com (IIRC that's the name of it, a google search will provide answers). If you're doing the whole light it's very easy to do yourself IMO.

If you're really unhappy with it, he can't really reverse it so he'd have to buy a set of tailights. I'm very surprised he didn't do it lightly then check with you, you can always go darker after, but can't go backwards. He probably screwed up and was forced to go that dark.

F a refund, I'd want new tailights. Refund would'nt cover the cost to replace them if the OP decides there irreprable.

I mean you are right, it is a little dark, but it doesnt look all that bad...If the guy who did it dont give you a refund of fix it. I would just leave it alone. Or just do what some already said, get the 05/06 tails. We all make mistakes. I bought a overlay from Batmobile, couple months ago and changed my mind about even installing the vinyl(headlight overlay) and as of right now I dont even know where it is.

Yea I just wasnt familiar with the process. I should of read on here first.

Anyway, I took them back and they agreed to re-do them. They still came out too dark but they look alot better now. You can see the redness in the lights. I am just going to keep them for now, probably sell or trade them for some 05/06s. I'm not worried about my lights and want to focus on getting other stuff. They might even look better once i get black rims.

^ LOL seems like I've been doing it left right and center lately over the forums (not just this one).


Aaaand I've never even used your stuff, just never heard a bad review, and on a forum, that's huge.
