Default Red Tint Film on Taillights

Well, I got my Oracal transparent vinyl in today...and got to work on making a cutable template for '01-03 GS taillights...took me like 15 tries...but I think I got it perfect now

Here are some pictures:





You can kinda tell up close it's a slighty different shade (very minute)...but from far away, it looks sweet. I'm waiting to get one of my friends with a '98-'00 GS to make a template for that one....

Actually, I used just normal vinyl to test cut/fit to make sure the template fit properly...the transparent vinyl is like 4-5 times the cost of cheap sticker vinyl.

Just to let people know...I should have the template ready for the '98-'00 GS Taillights tomorrow...I believe it'll fit correctly...right when I got the template finished, my friend had to leave But he'll stop by tomorrow and I'll make sure it fits...and provide pictures..

Looks nice.

Don't know much about the tail light assembly. Did you apply to the outside or the inside of the unit?

It goes on the outside...like a vinyl decal.

Here are the pics for the '98-'00 taillights:





The last picture has a little bit of wavieness because of the water hasn't dried behind the film yet...

Again, the tint is a bit darker than the rest of the taillight...but still looks good
