Thanks! I'm considering just using the Rustoleum lense tinting for both the front and back and just saving myself some money. The front marker vinyl worked fairly well and since the lenses are actually set back into the bumper, they're protected fairly well for the moment. I might just remove the vinyl off of the back and smoke them with the Rustoleum. I'm assuming it was easy to remove the lenses?

The rear lenses are similar, I removed screws at the bottom of the rear bumper cover and in the front, in the wheel well, stuck my hand in there and pushed it out. There are no screws/nuts holding the rears in.
Some people have been able to use a screwdriver from the outside to pry the lens forward and release the plastic tab that holds it in.
I was starting to damage the paint doing that, so I just did it my way

This gives you an idea of how it looks like on the inside of the front bumper cover:

Wow, thanks for the detail Gabe! That doesn't seem too difficult. I'll probably start with the back quarter markers and see how that goes. Seems like a simple enough mod but i feel like it really can change the look of the car to have the tint on it like that. Not a big fan of tinting anything else like the headlights and the taillights, but the rest seems like a nice touch. Once I get that done, the next step will be to decide whether I want matte black or gloss stripes. Decisions, decisions!

Here are matte black super snake stripes so you can get an idea of how matte looks on sgm. I went to with the whole matte look. Matte wheels, emblems, plastidipped hood vents which is a matte/flat black. So far so good. Gloss looks just an nice imo. Just wanted to do something different.
