hmm..how long did you have it on for?
the film shouldn't be coming up unless there is still soap or air bubbles in it. if anything the heat helps the film. UV rays will cause wear, but that's what an application of wax over it is for. i had my previous fronts on for months with no issue (peeled it off cuz i didn't stretch it enough during install to cover entire area
)

i just got my second set of tail light film from them. i had extra left over from old set so i did my sidemarker lights, and my third brake light. so it looks alot better now. but uh.. how do you mean "how they come as". but its worth it, makes the tail light look alot better.

screw clear corners. i used smoke overlay on my corners and it came out VERY NICE. i have a tinted VR, and clearcorners would stand out since they would be the only white thing on the car. i tinted my headlights as well, its a good 10 footer. as in, from 10 feet, it looks good. i might redo it with my brothers help.
the whole, "many pairs of hands" suggestion should be taken.
but it looks very nice.
needs to get lowered and have the back lights done.
i just took these 2 pics (car needs a wash.) in the last pic you can see the little distortions in the overlay. 2 hands are not enough because you need 1 to hold the hair dryer and one to.. only one to apply it? yeah right. :P

I don't buy Kool-Aid
Red and black looks good. But Black and WB will not. I thought real hard about doing this but after seeing someone on here with this on there WB I was like no way!

for the key hole i just kinda.. well lets just i now have only one key hole for the car, it makes it alot smoother looking. how hard was it to do the headlights, been thinking about getting those done. i mean cause i got my "clear corners" done, might as well finish off the look. haha, maybe i can get more fix it tickets. haha. i have a big stack of tickets.
