Anyone Tried the Smoke-Out Kit?

And no this is not about doobies or about meat or fish...or getting rid of bees...

Moss Mini has a product that appears to be a smokey coloured film for taillights and side markers. Anyone tried them and if so what do you think?

For reference:

I have the sidemarkers and later bought the belt line kit. Both change the look of the car quite a bit. It's a subdued look and most won't recognize it but if you park next to a car with it, it stands out. I recommend it.

I bought them (I realize I have a Cooper S in the Non S forum here) but opted to paint them instead. This way I could control the darkness--I wanted to retain some of the redness, and I also wanted to keep the backup light visible--you can see the "hole" where the light shows through. Can't do this with film. But painting does cost twice as much as film however but completely worth it.
