Recommendation for red out tails
Hey y'all.
Looking for recommendations on paint shops that can red out the tails. Don't want to do the VHT route since I will probably screw that up and don't want to do overlays either. Who do you recommend? Price?

Been planning to get mine done by @frsguy707 for a while but never got to it. I've seen him done both his own and @PMok and they both look pretty good.

Amen to that, Romie's tails look great. I bought the first pair he did because I think he wasn't 100% satisfied with them, but for me they are far better looking than the original clear look. Practice makes perfect, because the 2nd set he did for his car are fantastic.
If you want to go the pro paint shop route, it'll be a lot more expensive. Wheeldude took their FR-S to RJ Paint Shop in Pleasanton to get theirs painted. I believe it cost $400 or more but they also look fantastic.
