only sugestion for your tails......... is pull them off again and then tape up the outside of your tinted lenses and spray either some tint OR black paint along the back side of the red lenses..... that way the red doesnt come thru so easily around the edges.....
and for your CIVIC... shape... take some 2K grit sandpaper and a sanding block... and simply water sand that area then with some FINE rubbing compound... simply hand buff the clear coat back to a shine..... works great
i had the same thing on my old truck when i shaved off the side molding but it was HORIBLY dirty under thier and had to be sanded off and then shined back up and you woulda never known they were thier!!!!
i have a slight edges around my EX i shaved off but i havent sanded it yet.. not enough for me to worry about.LOL

I am so glad you put pics up of this I have a 98 green sedan ,and I wanted to know how the tint would look on both tails and windows.
And yes sedans unite!!! haha
Another thing that look sick is if you liek the idea is taking the silver "H" off and sanding it down, painting it black, and then giving in a shiney clear coat and puttig it back on. I did it, though I haven't put the clear coat on it yet, its just on my car flat black and it looks sicccccckkkk! I'll take a pic if you want.

Well right behind it are two holes and it has two like plastic bolt things so you can put it back in the wrong place, and I did just use some thin strips of double sided tape for the sides to keep it on. Its not hard at all, just cut really thing strips off. but be sure to get all the old adhesive off the car first with like goo gone or something.
looks great, i debadged exactly like you an dstill have the outlines of mine a little bit, but not enough for me to really care THAT much
thumbs up from me though

just bust out a small piece of 2,000 grit sandpaper and spend 30seconds sanding on that spot and another 30seconds with some fine rubbing compound... and that outline will be gone!
