I showed my Clear Bra guy those tail light pics last week when he was doing my truck. He said whoever did that did an awesome job. He could not replicate it on my truck with the film he was using. I'm thinking of buying a sheet of the Luxe and see what he can do with it.
Worth a shot.

The tail lights were done with a light smoke from this place
https://www.luxeautoconcepts.net/

The guy who does my window tint was the one who recommend it. I let him do that install as well. Did all three rear lights for $100.
My guy said these newer lights were a pain in the ***** compared to the earlier model f150s that were practically smoothe. Also...he said that the film wouldn’t work with the blind spot feature on other taillights. When I picked the truck up there were several bubbles in it...but with a little sun light heat they smoothed right down.

Thank you! I found the website, just didn't know what shade that is. Mine are tinted and I wanted to find something for my Ford Flex tails, they are hideous!

Did a couple little things today...
Installed Black oem lug nuts and painted the stock exhaust and chrome tip black with the VHT high temp spray paint.

Looking forward to seeing how the VHT holds up on the exhaust tip. I'm pretty sure the only things on my truck that are still chrome are the heading housings and the exhaust tip, I definitely need to black them out.

Devin, pick up a bottle of Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax and use that to clean your plasti-dipped wheels with. Thank me later.

I ordered the Light Smoke Gloss tint for my Tails last night and I'm going to have the guy that did my PPF install it on the lights. Fingers crossed or I'm out $80.

Beautiful truck. Love RR but I'm bias. How the reception with the shorty antenna, noticeable drop?

Me too....I’m sure I’ll have to do touch ups down the road.

thanks bud! Lol. I was skeptical of losing reception but I haven’t noticed any difference than stock! So far so good
