thats one reason i didnt do it to the is since i have red out on it.

when i sprayed it on my truck i feel in love with matte clear! it brought out all the lines that were inside of the tail light

That's right, same look without the commitment.

It's not on our shopping cart yet, however you can call and order.

Is it available pre-cut for the IS taillight? Or do we have to order a sheet and cut it ourselves?

I wouldn't want to put a matte frost overlay on the headlamps, it might look like an old headlamp in need of some shining. I have however seen people do a partial matte frost over the turn signals.
