some gloss black vinyl wrap & reverse light film

So I had my side mirrors, window trim, and bottom bumper pieces wrapped in gloss black. I also had my reverse lights tinted with smoke film. I REALLY like how the tail lights look now. I'm not even sure I want blacklines now.

Pics were taken from my HTC One which has a pretty good camera on it, for a phone. I got a little camera-happy towards the end

Looks good picture lighting is making it hard to see but The garage shot really shows off the wrap on the bumper! Looks real good man. The tail lights look a lot better but blacklines are pure sex.

doesnt tinting the lights cause micro fractures in the platic? Thats what i have read on here previously.

Otherwise, do like what you have done.

Question : did you do the job for the warp yourself ? I'm taking in cosideration to remplace my PlastiDip by a gloss black vinyl ... Was the window trim hard to do ?
