Default UCF10 ALL red taillights instead of RCR's!?

I've been doing some research to see if anyone has done all red taillights vs RCR's... is it possible to DIY or are there companies that sell 'em for UCF10's? From what I've been reading the amber can't be taken out... some inputs would be great!

Thanks in advance!

I used red tailight vinyl to do mine last week. It took about 15 mins and looks perfect - just like the pics above.
Got it from here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/
$12 shipped. There's a contact link on the left.

Aerotech (same company that the 2IS owners use for redout)...though it was pricey but good quality. go for the ebay vinyl.

Thanks a lot for all the input guys... greatly appreciated. I thought it was going to be a whole lot harder to do, but it seems pretty simple with just the overlay.
