Default Pre-cut Red Taillight tint/vinyl

Anyone know where I can find it? I wanna cover the ugly amber once and for all. I am looking for ones that are pre-cut for the G2.

painting them gives it a clean look.

Procedure:
1st: candy apple red spray paint, tape off the brake area and reverse, two coats over the amber area.
2nd: untape the brake area, and one coat over the whole assembly (keep the reverse taped).
3rd: let it dry, and peel the tape off the reverse, then clear coat the whole assembly.

if you want of course....
