dude... word of warning. That vinyl is NOT easy to install. I've been tinting windows since I could drive a car, so I thought I'd give it a crack.
Thats a negative ghost rider, pattern is full. The IS tail lights have a serious ridge that is just almost impossible. I even brought it to a tint shop that specializes in tinting tail lights. They couldnt do it either.
I ended up using VHT nightshades translucent paint. It turned out GREAT with just a real light smoke to take some of the red out. It could have been darker but i wasnt looking to get hassled by the fuzz.

id go to aerotect in person, not just order their stuff online. its not as easy an install if you're new to the vinyl overlay (as i was). if you're in so cal, its in the pomona/la verne area, and the guys that'll install it do a very good job.

Nooooooo !!! i Did that But then again my car was black, so if you do it, do both to match them.
But i recommend Aerotect for the tints,
i got the ones for my rear reflector lights on EBAY and the cutouts weren't so perfect.
But if you guys really wana "BLACK" it out, when you get the reflector light vinyl, Plastidip it and slap it on. You now have truly blacked out reflectors
*Do not recommend doing this to the tailights though, you'll get busted! At least in Cali.

i got my reflector tints from ebay...just search lexus reflector tint or something, and i have NO tinted tail lights, just red outs. i like it way better but i think tinted tail likes are a bit played out so that's just my opinion. my car is black fyi. so blacked out reflectors just blend in so its a little cleaner. thumbs up for yes reflector no tints
