Okay, since they're a cheap mod in price, I bought some red-outs from aero tect and some from Rvinyl. I have heard some bad stuff about aero tect red-outs recently (this is after I bought mine from aero tect), so I bought the Rvinyl red-outs for comparison. Which one will I use?.....to be continued.

I went areotech for both redout and blackout bumber reflectors. Super fast shipping and they both look really good. You cant tell the redouts are on till you get upclose or know they are on because the are red.

I got rvinyl sometime last year. Still looks good, although color under certain lighting looks dull, but it look great other than that, does its job of making the turn signals turn out red!

It's twice the price of Aerotect though, if I knew about them I would've had Aerotect. But yeah, I noticed that if you shine a light directly on the taillight at night, you can see the dull colored sticker stand out from the shiny taillight. But other than that, you will never know it's there.

I just installed aerotect fog light, bumper light smoke outs and red outs last night. The red outs were perfect. I would keep the outside of the film nice and wet when applying them to keep the scratches minimal. Mine got scratched up pretty bad from the squeege. The smoke outs and yellow fog lights were cut perfect but the film doesn't need to be as thick as it is. It just makes it hard to work around the curves of the lights. I am hoping they stick as I could see when it gets cold out the film starting to peel up around some of the hard curves on the fog light lenses.

Aerotect, wet installation. Easy to work with, with a bottle of soapy water. They look really good and blend in with the rest of the housing. Love the look.

i got aerotect. the bad thing about the 09 redouts is knowing where to position the vinyl. nothing to line up with. the pre 09 ones had a square shape to line up to.
