Need Taillight and Decal help

Just ordered taillight tint, Matte Black Hood Accent Decals and a MMD rear decklid panel for my 2010 pony....does anyone have any tips or hints to help me put these on without screwing them up? Especially the taillight tint and decals...thanks for you help! I'll post the pics when I put them on

I haven't done either, but have considered the tail light tint. Have a spray bottle with a soapy solution and spray the tail lights real good. Apply the tint and spray again. Use a small squigy, can get them at any auto parts store, and work out all the bubbles. Take your time with it, all the bad reviews are people who didn't use enough solution, ripped the tint, or had bad bubbles. There's probably some vids on Yoututbe that can help too. Good luck!

It's amazing how bright they are...I didn't get the smoked taillight covers because of the adhesive tape and location and the reviews I read

I saw them once and you could see the tape right through the lens when the lights were on.

All done! It was all pretty easy...use two people and lots of soapy water...the hardest part was the little mustang on the third break light.

Hood Accent Decals

Taillight Tint

Rear Decklid Panel

Looks very good! The bubbles should be pretty easy to see with your rear lights on. You might need sunglasses though haha
