Question Tinted Tail Light Question

I have an alpine white 135i w/matte black 19" csl's and im considering tinting the tails...

I dont want any crappy ones from ebay that will peal off or bubble or anything stupid like that. I want it to look as clean as possible and to stay on there with no problems, i dont care how much it costs... Are there any good quality ones out there for the 1-series? and where can i find them?

thanks

my local tint shop said he could do it. He has a more durable material for it though. Why don't you ask yours? They also do the computer cut 3m products too.

Sorry to thread jack but I had to comment on this AW 1er. Stunning from this viewpoint. I flip flop b/w colors all day but this photo made me think of the potential of an AW 1er. Good stuff.
