Ever heard of these for 04 and up tail lights?

you just need to heat shrink the film to the tailights. Its not that hard. Have a heat gun or a steamer?

Have you done this personally? I'd like to see a successful finished product to support this. So far, I haven't yet.

Jeff you mean you never see a smoked taillights from him or from anybody on here (Gen 2+ side) ? Because Sean (kpxboi0619) and myself have our tails smoked. He even has Gen 2 but he let the pros at InStyleGraphics

I've seen Sean's in person - and they didn't look very good. He had a lot of problems because of the Gen 2 tail "bump" - THAT'S what I'm referring to... applying film to an uneven surface. The material has to go somewhere - it's not like it's vacuum formed or anything, so it's going to pinch, buckle or bubble.

So IF someone has successfully film-tinted their Gen 2 (2004-2006) tails, I'd like to see it, and perhaps they could share their techniques for getting it done properly.

when did you see my car?????? I wanna see urz

yea I was one of the first guy to smoke the gen2 but yea freakkking hard cuz of the bubbled part.
so when my guy did it, mine was his first solara so hez gonna take it off and smoke it again. cuz he smoked my friend's solara perfectly without any bubbles (gen2) yea using heat gun to heat the film up really helps.

Sorry bro - maybe I'm confusing you with someone else's ride... didn't you come out to that TEAM NGC Toyota car show last year? Must not have been yours... I stand corrected.

It's really not that hard to heat shrink film. But I still believe that painting them with a translucent black paint is the best choice. Sometimes even other colors are available.

I saw both and I can compare...thick smoking film give a perfect uniform job !! Looking way better then spraying paint !! would need a perfect pro job to look better to the film I used.

You need to focus to what you are doing when working with the heat gun and streching the film...dont be shy to use a lot of water to temperate the film to avoid tearing. It is hard to tear but it happenned to me the first time I try to do it...I forgot for 5 second to not put soaped water. Not easy as you seem to say
