ahh....is it the same stuff ilovewheels used on his tails? Gila Static-Cling tint? I gave it a try, it's hard putting it on and keeping it from wrinkling. maybe i'm just a noob

yeh i think its the same stuff... i got it from wal mart.... the trick is to have a spray bottle of water mixed wit some dish deternget only like 2-3 drops and sparay the **** out of the tail and the tint.... then lay it on and squeegee the tint and it will be wrinkle free and bubble free.... you will have to heat it up to curve it but it dont stickk too good... so thats why real tint with glue is better you know....

yea...i actually bought 2 types...same brand, first i got the regular tint with one side that's sticky. I found it really hard to work with..the plastic is more stiff and doesnt stretch like the static cling one.

I think the static cling one was easier to work with.

Looks great...Definitely a better option than shelling out $100 to Accolade or checking the FS forums everyday trying to be the first in line to grab one from a member. You should do this up in a how-to with more detailed info. BillyLancer any chance you have pics of how yours looks with the mesh just in the hole?
