Didn't see it on the website, only redouts and caliper decals. Might want to try and contact their sales dept.

I'm starting to like the 2011's tail lights now.. the red out now kinda reminds me of a ES350's tail lights
I understand doing a red out on 2006-2008 tail lights 2IS but on a 09+.. looks cheap to me.

I agree. Red outs on an '09-'10 are certainly an improvement over the amber, but there's just too much red on that side with only a sliver of white/silver on the inside. It just looks unbalanced to me. IMO, during the daytime OEM '06-'08 < OEM '09-'10 << Redout '06-'08 = Redout '09-'10 << IS-F < '11. During night the swoosh tails look cooler with the LED dots though. To each his own.
