Rvinyl.com Dark Smoke Taillight Tint Review

BradZditosky · 03-15-2012, 09:33 AM

These are the Dark Smoke Taillight Tints from Rvinyl.com.
Overall they turned out pretty good. It was easier to put the tint on smaller flat lights on the trunk lid, simply because they are flat. It's been about 5 days since I put the tint on and I they still have a few bubbles in them. Overall I like the way they turned out.

That would be great. Looking into doing this also. Just would like to see more for my own benefit. Thanks

tinted taillights look cheap imo.

Looks good; Take a needle and puncture it and squeegie it out with a spray bottle and squeegie.
Don't forget to debadge!

Hey Brad, I just had Rvinyl installed (professionally because I was nervous to try it myself) and I wanted to ask you how yours were faring.. I have a 2009 328i coupe. I just got them done 2 days ago and am a little nervous as the very edges of the tint don't look too sturdy to me, then again I've never had this done. Any advice ie. can they go through a car wash, etc.? Thanks - Paulina

darkrom · 05-16-2012, 08:04 AM

I like it but I'd never do it simply because if someone rear ends YOU, it'll now be YOUR fault. That sucks but its true. Happened to someone I know with tinted tail lights. He got a ticket and his rates went up when he was rear ended.

i have had mine on for at least 2 months now and i have not had any problems, i have not run it through the car wash because i have also wrapped my trim in vinyl and plasti dipped my rims and i dont want to risk damaging those. I do wash it myself all the time though and i have had no problems.

Not true in all situations, i read the law and it states, for indiana anyway, that as long as your taillight are visible for 300' in normal conditions they are legal and this tint is not that dark and is easily visible from 300' during the day and night.

Not true at all. Varies from location to location

if they still have bubbles I would not be happy

lina612 · 06-01-2012, 03:29 PM

unfortunately mine starting to peel slightly around the edge of my right tail light. The headlights have stayed on fine. I'm going tomorrow to have the tail light tints removed (the ones I ordered from r vinyl) and new ones put on professionally, which I am told are much better quality (3m) and last around 5yrs. We'll see how it goes
