Looking good. Did he use VHT or combined black and clear ? I've seen a black and clear job done and it looked superb, the only problem, light was really dim.
I'll post a how to really soon, because my inbox is blowing up heh

i do them professionally....i use a clearcoat/black mixture as opposed to VHT because ive seen a few buddies of mine that have used vht and theirs ended up peeling after a while (not saying this will happen to your but just telling you of the history i have seen)....

if youre planning on smoking them out, then painting is the way to go, the stick on or static cling stuff just doesnt cut it!

ive painted my front corners, rear side markers, and rear tails and brake light...all the lights are oem housings and light up at night just like if they werent painted at all....all of them look prestine and compliment the right colored car to no end...
