Who wants vinyled red-out tails?

So guys, I'm wondering who wants red out tail light vinyl?
I'm thinking if we all chip in we can just buy a roll and save on cost.

I never had good experiences with pre-cut kits so I always bought the roll myself... but I have a ton of gloss black and "smoke" tint left over, so I don't really want to spend money on a roll of red I will never be able to use by myself.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in chipping in for a roll and I could help with install?

I live in West LA, near Santa Monica.

To make it cost effective, probably looking at, at least the $150-250 roll sizes.

And this is the brand I'm looking at

I normally use Oracal stuff just like Bluebatmobile and all the other overlay guys, but I want to try different material. Oracal is actually pretty difficult to install.

If I can get enough people "signed up" maybe I'll just front the costs and buy it. But I might need to take a small paypal deposit so people don't flake on me.

I'd be interested in something like this. Red + light smoke

^ Interesting... So I guess painting over them would be the best choice?

Yep. He's one of the best in my area and he said he couldn't do it and he uses the same material you guys are considering ordering

My friend just had his wrapped. They said the hardest thing on the taillight is that little vortex generator thing on the side. The installer said that little thing was a PITA.

I was thinking of blacking those two VGs out on mine. Dont know that that would make a difference in wrapping though.

I'll get some pics when I see him again. Probably Monday. The ones he sent me are just way too blurry.

Yeah, like I said, I've done a bunch of cars, and I wouldn't mind helping out. I just don't want to order a whole for myself. I guess I can just buy enough for me, but if I mess up, I don't want to have to order more.

Also, I ended up picking up a Raven (Black) FRS instead of a Firestorm (Red), so now I don't know if I want to do smoke or redout or both...

I have smoke vinyl so I will try it tomorrow and see if I like it. I'll post pics, you guys post pics too! Paint / vinyl / smoke / red ... anything!
