I just ordered some of this stuff from Rvinyl using the discount code. I saved a whopping 50 cents. Hey money's money. Soon everyone's gonna have the red out tails on the IS. Good thing there's not too many IS's on the road yet.

pre-cut stencils...... I got the AeroTect precut red outs. Is this the same as what you mean?
