Converting CLEAR tail lights to RED with a vinyl kit

Just for all you guys.
I'm on this forum to talk en about our Mustangs. Not commercial and my intension is not to earn money of this forum.

The vinyl is produced and shipped without any margins for me. So it is from a Mustang owner to a Mustang owner.

I am receiving several Private Messages about my intentions. Including one from the site owner.
But I just sell these kits because there is no kit available which confirms to the demand of Mustang owners (nice red and glossy)

If you guys want me to stop selling these kits. Just say so and I stop.

Who is so crazy????
Keep your work and earn some money on this, if someone will blame you, you will know what for, not for free. That's how i see this.

Dennis, don't stop!

I see no reason why you should stop. You're helping out other Mustang drivers here in Europe who want the red tail lights.
There are US guys selling some parts, like grilles and so on, imo nothing wrong with it as long as this forum doesn't become a shop with the intension to make a lot of money!

Keep on your good work Dennis.

Yes... I will create the sets when you want me to.
It is not a product I sell online of to anyone else. This is the only way.

The set of AR is just as good. It is only another color.

I just realized that my post about installation of Dennis vinyls was deleted

Huh?
What is going on?

Yesterday I saw your great post including those nice pictures.
Now.... it is gone.

I think a mod deleted the posts from Shep or what's name was, and the discussion about AR and you (and me).. and deleted my post also ?!?

REPOST [MENTION=12253]papinist[/MENTION]

I think I'll be sticking with my clear taillights though... looks good on my Magnetic and fits with my 50th grille and nickel wheels... They also don't look as pink as I feared, but maybe that's because we don't have any real sunlight yet

I might look into maybe doing a slight tint (which should deepen the reds a bit?)... so far the only thing really sticking out is the amber rear side markers... especially since the rear reflectors are red, the trunk brake light is read and the third light on the bottom is red... make the amber ones on the rear sides look off.

Don't stop doing the light kits Dennis - I will be ordering a kit in March when back from holiday. Is it possible to have the reverse / fog light in 20% smoke tint but everything else in red? My car will not be with me until May/ June but need to have things ready to go on as soon as it arrives!

OK, I am ready to sum it up. The order process from Dennis is smooth and just pleasure. I would like to share my thoughts regarding the vinyl and small comparison to US original. I received the vinyl from Dennis just as I was leaving to the USA, so it had to wait. But the positive is, during the visit I took careful notice regarding the US rears.
So here is my baby after using the product provided by Dennis (by the way, nicely prepared and delivered):





The car finally looks as God intended and I like it much, much more with the read rear BUT... Yeah, there is "but". I am quite good for the guy when it comes to colors (at least my wife agrees with that ) It would be great if the vinyl matched the US red closer. The vinyl has a drop of an orange in it (a bit too obvious). It should be more vivid red, more raspberry, so to say. I am attaching a few pics below (I emphasize that in reality the difference is much more obvious than on below pics):

So, original US (tried to get similar lighting conditions to the one on Dennis'es pics - so, taken inside):



Here is the pic from Dennis (vinyl):



Of course, it all depends on your monitors, etc. but as I noted above, the difference is obvious in reality and the vinyl is, so to say, "not red enough".
I just wanted to give you perspective and I want to note, I find the offered product as a great one. Keep up the great work Dennis. If it will be possible to get even closer to original, I am ordering another set from you!

And at last, a pic with US Roush beauties



Hope it helps.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comparison! Actually you are right, at first it seems to me more similar to US lights but there is this tint difference you noted. Again, I like this more than the AR version because it's matte vinyl.
Now the next step: glossy and US red

Wow! Thank you for this nice review.
The color I use is the closed I could find.
But there is a slight darker red version available since last monday. Yes there is!

That new color is slightly darker in tint. More red in it.
But it will never 100% match the US colors.

Why?
Well, we tint on top of the lights. The US versions are colored underneath the transparent plastics and therefore the overall look of the units are darker, more shining.
This is a look we will never get when sticking vinyl on top of the units.

Tell me... what should I do.
Stay with the color as it is right now.
Or switch to the slightly darker color?

I won't do both... for me it will be too much work to keep them apart

The new color is called "Deep Red"


The left is the color we use now.
The right one is the slightly more red color.
