Default IS2S red-out compare pics as promised!

Hey guys -

So a couple of the 2nd gen owners were thinking about doing the red-outs for the tail lights. I said I would post some compare pics of the Aerotech redouts and the rvinyls.

The rvinyls match much better as you can see from the pics but the film comes in a sheet and you'll need to cut it to size. You can use my aerotect ones as a template, and Putz has some as well... Or just order both The aerotect's are pretty cheap $6 if I remember.

Aerotect's on the right // Rvinyl on the left





Close-up of the Rvinyl:

yah it's pretty minor difference unless you are looking for it. The AeroTect ones are much darker than the rvinyl films. Putz and I both had the rvinyl ones at the mini-meet so the other IS2 owners couldn't do a compare and were asking about the difference with the AeroTects

menech,

is the vinyl film red? if so, can I get a small piece of it, say 6 inches wide by 1 inch height?

if you have any spare leftover.

I'd like to put it on my back tail light just above my trunk.
It's clear white right now.

thanks...teeman3

imaputz,

here's a pic of the tail light i was referring to. it's just above the trunk.
but if you wanna save the extra for ldynred, go ahead and I'll just buy some off the internet.

she'll probably need it more than me.
