I don't have much experience, but I used the rvinyl ones and they are pretty close matches to the red found on the car.
I've heard that some of the other ones are slightly different and off color matches

Here are pics of my setup: (rvinyl)

Rvinyl and Aerotect both make quality correct size redouts. I bought from aerotect and they fit perfect so i assume rvinyl is the same. I have a friend who bought the cheap ebay ones and its a generic size film that doesn't fit. its really big and you need to trim it up to the correct size. I suggest just spend the extra $10-15 dollars.

I totally did not notice you had smoked your reflectors. Whoops. Looks good.

I got rvinyl and it's okay. I'm not totally satisfied because it looks dull IMO. I may replace it with the IS-F lights in the future or if the '09 refresh has all-red tails then I would prefer that instead.
