I've got my front markers tinted, but as you can see, you still get light at the very top. The backs are not tinted.

Are there any other choices of film for the pre-cut kit?

I'd really like a dark blue tint for my Indi Blue.

You have to remember that red light through a blue film might not look red. Get a sample of transparent (not translucent) vinyl from a sign shop and test it out.

The ORACAL 8300 Translucent film comes in a bunch of colors but it is difficult to pick colors based on the onscreen swatches. I would guess that the Traffic Blue (057) would be a good place to start for IB.

I had actually looked at that page and came to the same conclusion. I just wish I didn't have to buy a whole roll just to try it out.

Good point about the red lights coming through blue - I hadn't thought about that at all!
