Looks good, seems like the red matches better this time. None of the pics in the thread worked for me though.

nice, I wonder what it would look like if you covered the reverse light part but left a square cutout in the middle (kinda like the one where you covered the top part of it)

Nadir I think this is the best looking red-out I have seen yet, it reminds me of the old Q45.

Oracal Red transparent vinyl

I forget where my friend bought it, but I think he bought a pretty big roll over the telephone and they shipped it to him.
