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.

Default Sprayed tint?

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...
