I'm interested in these also.

What about the protectant spray? Any experience with that?

Also, I've been wondering.....Does anyone ever paint or tint the recessed part of the tail lights? ...you know...the part that outlines the three rectangular lights. I've been thinking about painting that part black.
No experience with spray. How protective could that be anyway. I'm gonna get these to fill that gap and then apply the Lamin-x.

Black Tail Light Bezels
A low cost alternative to painting that will give your Mustang a custom look. These bezels are manufactured from high grade 1/8" thick laser-cut acrylic for aprecision fit every time. Kits come with a protective layer on both sides of the acrylic for shipping, 3M attachment tape and instructions.
Yeah, I've seen those, but they seem to stick out flush with the tail light surface, and I don't like that. I want to keep it recessed. From pictures I've seen, it looks very obviously like you have plastic taped to the back of the car. (not you personally....I mean whoever's car I've seen)

I'm not going for protection, just looks.

No heat gun.[sm=alcoholic.gif] They are cut to size and fit perfectly. just water. The protectant film has an adheasive applyed to the surface and water keeps it lubricated until it is positioned correctly. EASY!!

Yo war dude,
I'm not to sure if I'm gonna like that plastic flush look either. So far i have not found any product that will fill those gaps and not stick out to much.

Me either. I might test it out with some strips of black vinyl to see how I like it.

Nobody has answered my question about the window tint. So for thosewho HAVEused the window tint, suchas Prometheus Prime, how did you get a nice cutout without overlapping? I have the staticcling tint from Autozone if that helps.

why not just get removable covers? these were from Lund and you have to pop the hood to install/ remove them, but it only takes 10 seconds.
