Congrats. What's your degree?
Yesterday I tinted the headlights and tail lights with kits from Laminx.

I may end up doing my tails and rear reflectors as well. Right now I need to get the taillights figured out with the dealership due to peeling chrome. I stopped by my normal dealer which is Lincoln with no Ford. I was told that since they were replaced under the factory bumper to bumper warranty they don't have a parts warranty on them. They are only 8 months old. The SA told me that he feels I should be an After Warranty Adjustment to get them replaced again but he said since they don't have Ford he can't do that. I need to go back to a Ford dealership for that. The Autogroup has a Ford dealership which is where I bought the car so I will be heading there this wee sometime. The SA told me that as of this year all parts from Ford have a 2 year unlimited mile warranty on them even if replaced under warranty. I also asked him about performing service on the PTU and he said Ford doesn't have anything and they don't do them. Kind of what I figured so I will be finding a local shop to do it for me.

Patience. A sprayer of filtered water A hairdryer or heat gun. Some more patience. Some forgiveness for yourself when it's done, because it probably won't be perfect. I had to tell myself to stop messing with it and just give it a day or two to see how it turns out. I have a couple creases I still want to work on. My guess it's the Taurus lights are much easier, but I haven't looked at them that closely. The MKS lights have 3 major surfaces to them that you are covering with a single flat piece. I started with the largest flat surface (which they tell you do to) and then used heat to stretch it around the sides. Watch some Youtube videos.
