We have a full flat bed scanner at my office in Carmel if you ever need it...

Probably just as easy to drive up to John's office since he offered if it comes to that... Have you had a chance to try the template I made yet?

Sadly no, I've been busy with work and classes/projects and haven't had the time to even cruise this last week. Ugh :|

Spend 10 bucks for the ebay tinted ones.. then make your template from it.. since you can see through it to outline the sections of the lights..

Any chance you have a link Mrmiata? I've looked (now, and before I drew one up) but didn't find anything like what you describe.

< I'm a doofus. I thought you were saying they had some with cutouts. What I did is used wax paper, taped it down, used a sharpie, traced the lights, took a photo, traced it in illustrator, added some extra space around the outside edges. Just neither AdrianX nor myself have had a chance to get it printed and test it out. I'd kind of prefer to have someone else do that part, just to have another pair of eyes on it

You will want to check your state codes, this would not be legal in Pa. I just read the myriad pages of the Pa. code and I believe that many new cars actually do not meet our codes. LOL It is unbelievable that they could write that many pages covering the requirements for illumination and reflectors>

Here in Chicago every 3rd car or so has tints on its windows that wont let light through. I'm sure they will care even less about the tinted lights hahahah

I'm actually looking into doing a full redout on my taillights soon. Truthfully I've always felt that Crossfire taillights are a smidge tacky and I like the clean look of a solid red taillight. There is a company called RVinyl that makes pre-cut film for our cars. I've bought things from them in the past for some of my previous cars with great success as well. I'll post up some pictures once I get around to doing it.

Rtint® Chrysler Crossfire 2004-2008 Tail Light Tint|Film

They also offer several different options of pre-cut tinted vinyl for our cars as well. (smoked, tinted, blackout, etc.)

Actually ended up buying them from Lamin-X since they're even more reputable and they have a 5 year warranty. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them on.

So, tomorrow I am talking to a local shop to get it done. IF they give me a good price, it'll get done and pics will be up by night time more than likely. Wish me luck? LOL

Work got in the way of me going to the shop, I talked to the owner and he can get them done for 60 bucks. Which isn't terrible for vinyl. I will try to go this coming week.
