i also hate overlays, they can fade/tear/bubble/look hazy...i can always tell when tail lights have overlays on them they just look different

You can quick detail and lightly wax my Overlays for a nice glossy look .

soooooooooooooo i would also like to tint my taillights i'm not wanting to make ANY mistakes, one of my friends who owns an 08 Civic Si tried to put on some overlays and it was a pain in the ___...didn't work..didn't stretch right, just a mess, ended up throwing them away... I've never heard of this nightshade stuff...is it permenant? easy to do? does it come with like a step by step way to use it? also i've been reading some people have painted thiers...how do you manage that lol? i know its a lot of questions but i want a real nice clean look with no wear and tear

That's one way. I prefer to remove old spray tint with sand paper.
