I paid $13 for a 24"x24" piece of red tint ( http://www.metrorestyling.com/Red-Ou...redoutfilm.htm) and $40 for the install at IDS on south Broadway. Took the IDS installer Matt about 15 minutes and it turned out much better than I could do! I had him cut out a small rectangle shape following the lines of the existing taillight so the light would shine through when backing up at night. Looks similar to the rectangle shape on the LCI taillight.
The color doesn't match 100% when viewing from certain angles but unless you are looking for it, I don' think anyone would ever notice. I have some extra tint left over if anyone wants to give it a try.

Did you vinyl the whole light or just the inners? And how much vinyl did you order
