Regarding availability of these kits, I'm still working on the logistics of making them (the money part), and it will likely be a few weeks before I'm comfortable selling them. This will also give me time to refine the design and test a few more ideas, so hang tight if you are interested in buying one.
Definitely digging the 35% tint with it and that's as dark as I was planning. Nice to see that it is still showing well enough in daytime testing.

If you can make one that spans the whole rear window with locations for turn signal LEDs and maybe an option for Alcantara wrap...I would pay you a reasonable fee.

Might I recommend side emitting LED's such as this since it would allow for an even lower profile (or you could double them up)...and they might be brighter.

Keeping an eye out either way.
