Default Redout & Overlays: Aerotect or RVinyl? Which is better quality??

I just got my IS and need to purchase redouts and the vinyol overlays for the fogs. Does anybody know which companies have better quality and best fitment? Any other recommendations?

I got Aerotect because it's pre-cut and no cutting is involved.

I have aerotect overlays and i believe they are perfect. after they found out the red didnt have a good match they changed the material and i would say they match fairly well and no peeling yet its been 6 months now and washed like 4-5 times now


I spent like 150.00 in lite mods haha how sad and the ride is still stock

+1. and make sure you apply them using the wet application, not the dry.
