i did, and I didn't. The company I currently doesn't deal with red products. This is the material you found, which is a thin, cheaper quality product. It works, but it's a little flawed in its design. Call us at the shop, we'll get more info on it, and go from there.
Thanks for your patience though...the red is taking forever to come out from Xpel.

now everyone can stop bitching about the clear tails and get a new STi. Ryan and Damon, you guys have provided an anti-rice solution to subaru, they should pay you for this genius idea lol

Tails look a lot better good job.

lol...ewww, how could anyone like the stock clears! Anyway...thanks for the kind words...but we're far from geniuses, we/the customer got the idea from Nasioc.

Although this was us as we completed our masterpiece...Darnell is the one on the right!

Looks better, but might look even better with a slightly more transparent red.

Looks good guys. I never realized how high the new STi's look stock. Saw one on the road for the first time this weekend, I think I like them much better in person.

This should be on the Subaru forums if it's not already. I bet you guys could make some money off people sending you their tailights. :mrgreen:

Not trying to thread jack too bad, but do you guys have any pictures of a light smoke film for headlights? My tails are painted pretty dark but I don't think it would look right on the headlights.

That's my tails now

I'd like something just enough to take the edge off of how white the headlights and corners look.
