I'm not a fan of the all red, black out or even smoke. I like the OEM look. Found this on ScionLife.

Did mine yesterday and I got to say they look so much better and I love them. I got to fix a few things on them though to make them look perfect

Overlays don't seem to be as shinny as paint. But there is no going back with paint
