the ones you have seen are either sprayed, bluebatmobile.com'd, or static cling'd...

here's mine (i used $12.99 static cling tint from wal-mart, and i have enough for another 20 or so xB's :D )

Definitely go with the Bluebatmobile. I installed the rears in about 30 minutes this past weekend. Removed the tailights from vehicle and did it indoors...it was 110 degrees in the sun!

I used a hairdryer to slightly shrink the edges on the curved parts and dry out the adhesive. Worked perfect. A day sitting in the sun and it all dryed looking very professional.

Go slow trimming the edges and use a soft, clean cloth to rub/wipe the water out.
Side markers and front will be done this weekend.

how would you spray smoke onto these lenses? do they make spray tinting, or just use a grey paint or what?

i think de-ambering and then smoking the factories would look pretty good.

I had Gary Nish do mine, and I must say, he does excellent work, he is a professional auto body guy that paints the tails whatver color you would like, and not only that, but he clear coats them as well. The end result, a beautiful tailight... :D

Here are some pictures of mine...
