Just did mine, only suggestion I have is be patient and careful with the taillights that wrap around the car (non trunk piece)..they were a pain for me.

What oil is the clutch linked to? The tranny oil or is it the brake fluid?

Finished last night, installed today. Look good from a far, but far from good. The top part of the brake light kicked my ass. It'll due for now but if I had to do it all over again I'd probably pain it.

Yeah mine are the same, good from far but far from good, when I choose to do it again, I'd take it to a tint shop down the road.

Do you think the film will come off easy with a heat gun, or is this going to be the day of sanding from hell?

Film comes off easy, but the glue gunk left behind is a PITA to deal with apparently.

Is that gunk similar to debading and dealing with the glue from that?
