Yes, I stuck with Rvinyl out of Jersey and I can't tell there on. It is amazing that after tint and two vinyl kits, it makes the car look ten times better for under $300.

I bought my redouts from Rvinyl as well and like others said - you could hardly tell the difference between the vinyl and the tailigihts. However, people have also pointed out that the Aerotect redouts look a little off compared to our red taillights as it doesn't match as well.

Thanks for everyones opinion. I Kinda figured I might have used the wrong solution which is crap. I used a very little dish soap and I think I might have stained the redouts so I have to order two more. Stupid me.

As for the rims Def. getting silver with a polished lip. As for which ones I have no clue. But yeah the next mod is def the wheels and springs.
