Did mine almost a year ago, still on and look the same as the day I put them on. Beats the price of full JDM tails.

Look great with my authentic JDM headlights

Did mine today. Came out good but I messed up a bit and there's a bubble on the left one . Did you guys remove the back completely and then apply or a little at a time? Any advice?

I'll probably order another batch and redo it.

I realize this is an old thread but rather than to make a new thread, I figured I ask a question here since its on topic.

I PMed RED EVO8 but didn't get a reply yet so maybe he will chime in.

I am at cross road at the moment with a few possibilities.

Options are...

1. Buy some EBAY DEPO brand JDM Replicas...

2. send them off to EVO DAVE and have them done...

3. Do them myself using the NON-Dremmel tool approach

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ut-dremel.html

I want to try and do them myself since I have an extra set of chrome EVO 8 Tails. My only debacle is which Amber film to use... After extensive searching, I came to find this vendor on the internet and it seems like a good product so I thought I pass it on to everyone here.

The Yellow color... looks closer to the Amber in my opinion

The Orange one... and looks also like the Amber but I am leaning more towards the yellow..

what do you guys think?

Looks like you did a good job, however I think they looked better in the USDM IX way.
