hi guys. i recently purchased red-outs from ebay. here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...61374557QQrdZ1

ii cant really tell whether they are aerotect or rvinyl. maybe somebody who made it themselves.

has anybody gotten this off ebay? or am i the only oddball?

the other red-out they have on ebay is : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...59147506QQrdZ1

do you guys think link#2 is aerotect or rvynl?

i would try it on my car, but its currently being repaired and i wont get it back for a while. thanks. the red-outs i got came pre-cut.

I went with rvinyl too, but did the "dry" install method with no problems. Not sure what your ebay ones are, but I'd imagine they'll both work fine.

Great here. Everytime I see a stock rear end, I'm shocked by how bad the orange looks IMO. Would never imagine going back!

I'm surprised... still no definitive answers as to if you buy yellow bulbs if it will shine through the red outs and glow orange or yellow instead of red.

Find out and tell me. I want mine to blink orange, amber, yellow or whatever... Just anything other than red so its more clear to people that they're not brake lights if it flashes in the corner of their eye.

I've had it for over a year now and they look as good as the day I put it on. No peeling and no discoloring.
