it would be same as the tails. That would need more prep work than a set of tails

Hey, sorry I didn't make it out Friday like I planned. I got the seven nuts off the left tail light, but the inside still seemed to be held on to the center section or something. I'll have to take out the sub and trunk board so I can removed those plastic panels back there. Hope I figure out how to get it all off and have them ready on Tuesday.

I got them off! You will have them tomorrow at bees, I'll pick them up later in the week. I'll take a picture before and after with them on the car so people can see what 3 coats looks like on a 2g.

Some pictures. The first is before the tinting in some low light, the second is in direct sunlight with tint, and the last is in similar light as the first.

Sorry for the low quality camera phone pictures.
