    Are you asking if you should go with red or black or if there is a pre-cut kit?

    Id prefer a smoked look on my black Prius, and son would prefer red on his Maroon Prius - so, yes - would someone make up a pre-cut kit for the members here? Sure it would sell!

    Personally I dont think red lamps on the maroon Prius will look very good. It's like wearing dark green and blue together.

    Anything better than the cheap looking white ones - he might go smoked also with the tinited windows.

    Dont know if anyone would be willing to make precut ones. The applying process is the same either way, so might be better to cut them to your liking.

    pre-cut tints usually don't work out too well because the tint is flat but the taillight is curved. You're better off just buying a sheet to film and cut it yourself. IMO..

    For ~$25, the folks at rvinyl.com make both

    tail light (but no red-out) and

    head light

    precut tint kits for the Gen II Prius in different tint levels and colors.

    so today I got windows tinted; and asked about tinting the tail lights; thought he understood to cover up everything BUT the backup lights with smoked tint...

    Heres what I got. Thinking the pinstripe either needs extended or removed.....

    What do you think? Tomorrow Im going to go see if he can tint the back part vs
    black out.
