I went with Aerotect red outs and used the wet method.

There are 4 options for changing the amber part of my 2007 tail-light to red on rvinyl.com - which one do I get (I want the pre-cut version)?

1) Bumper Reflector Precut Tint
2) Precut Tint
3) Red Out Precut Tint
4) Precut Tint Design

Thanks!

Spoke with rvinyl today and they said they don't have a pre-cut kit just for the amber part of the IS250 tail lights......very odd when many people have purchased from them. I opted for getting one from eBay for only $10 vs. $30 from rvinyl

Hello CL Member,


Just upgrade to an 09 Is250. I am just wondering how you guy put your RED-VINYL ON ? Since my taillight have a sidewalk ( the side ) where I wasn't able to cover. I bought mine on ebay. So end up messing it up and have to order another one soon. Or should I bought the Vinyl Sheet ? and do it my self instead of buying the precut ?

Please help thanks in advance

Man that looks awesome and will be doing the same to mine...I have a question, would a heat gun work as well instead of using a hair dryer?

I didn't even use anything to dry it. I just left it to dry. Make sure its a sunny day though.

Yea, any heat source should work fine. I only used it to help wrap the corner towards the trunk.
